The Light Will Stay On

[Verse 1: Carla Torgerson]
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

[Chorus: Carla Torgerson]
And long, after we're gone
The lights will stay on
The lights will stay on

[Verse 2: Carla Torgerson]
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

[Chorus: Carla Torgerson & Chris Eckman]
And long, after we're gone
The lights will stay on
The lights will stay on

[Bridge: Carla Torgerson, Carla Torgerson & Chris Eckman]
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

[Chorus: Carla Torgerson & Chris Eckman]
And long, after we're gone
The lights will stay on
The lights will stay on
And long, after we're safe
The lights will not fade
The lights will not fade
