I go to sleep,
before the devil wakes
And I wake up,
before the angels take

All my worldly desires
All my yardsticks of fear

Hangin' down, hangin' down

I go to sleep,
before the devil wakes
And I wake up,
before the angels take

All my secrets untold
All my motives unclear
Hangin' down in the fire
burnin' them higher
Won't take them away from here

And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
the light will stay on

Watched the city ... city of crows
Watched them fly,
watched 'em all flyin' low

Out above the flood plain
just above the dirt road
They were hungry as winter,
hungry as us
not afraid to be flyin',
not afraid to be lost

And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
the light will stay on

And if you bury me,
add three feet to it:
one for your sorrow,
two for your sweat,
three for the strange
things we never forget

And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
the light will stay on

And long after we're safe
The lights will not fade
the lights will not fade
