[Verse 1]
Memory rushes in then washes you away
I am losing you to the sea

[Verse 2]
I'll break from the weight of my mind
But your ghost I will gladly bear

[Verse 3]
And with all your grief in my arms
I will labor by singing light

[Chorus]
I'll keep my lanterns lit
I'll keep my lanterns lit
I'll keep my lanterns lit
I'll keep my lanterns lit
I'll keep my lanterns lit
I'll keep my lanterns lit
I'll keep my lanterns lit
I'll keep my lanterns lit

[Outro]
If you had a single flaw
You just could not last forever, could you?
You just could not last for me
