(Jagger/Richards)



We, On Our Present Life,

Knew That The Stars Were Right.

That If You Are The First To Go,

You'll Leave A Sign To Let Me Know,

Tell Me So.

Please, Carry The Lantern Lights.



You Crossed The Sea Of Night,

Free From The Spell Of Fright

Your Cloak It Is A Spirit Shroud.

You'll Wake Me In My Sleeping Hours,

Like A Cloud.

So, Please, Carry The Lantern High.



Me, In My Sorry Plight,

You Waiting Ev'ry Night.

My Face It Turns A Deathly Pale,

You're Talking To Me, Through Your Veil,

I Hear You Wail.

So, Please Carry The Lantern Light.



The Servants Sleep,

The Door's Are Barred.

You Hear The Stopping Of My Heart-we Never Part.

So, Please Carry The Lantern High.
