Andrew Bird
Alabaster
[Intro]
Keep your lamp on
Keep your lamp on
Keep your lamp on

[Verse 1]
Night and the stars that hung all around us
Light the way to your door
Won't you pour me a glass of pure alabaster
Come, sit down by the fire

[Chorus]
Days are growing short
Nights are growing longer
Gotta get much stronger
To make it through

[Verse 2]
True are these hearts that burn luminescent
Begging to invite you inside
Wide are the arms that long to hold you tight
In this sleepy embrace

[Chorus]
Days are growing short
Nights are growing longer
You gotta get much stronger
To make it through
[Bridge]
Night and the stars that hung all around us
Light the way to your door

[Outro]
Keep your lamp on
Keep your lamp on
Keep your lamp on
