Lanternlight

[Verse 1: Floor Jansen]
Gone is the hurt, the wait
Gone is the warmth of day
A stray boat saved, happy memories engraved
On into a velvety night
Beneath a lanternlight

[Chorus: Floor Jansen]
Last night brought the heaviest of snows
Melting the songs of old
Tying the boat, write a new one soon
Sending me to the drowning moon
Far above a lanternlight

[Verse 2: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley]
I'm in the light and flood
I'm in the four winds
I am the waves shaping pebbles flawless gems
I am the snow on your palm

[Chorus: Floor Jansen, Troy Donockley]
I am the secret stream
Moss beneath your feet
I am you who climbed off of my back
Not long ago
A sheltered song in a world now gone
Petrichor
The timeless

[Bridge: Floor Jansen]
Turn loose the swaying boat
Meltwater, sound of spring
I hear our song now, sung by the free
For a thousand more tomorrows
Of an incomplete weave
To the meadows I go
I’ll be waiting for you
Once upon a lanternlight

[Outro: Troy Donockley, Floor Jansen]
I walk now toward the trees
I am the secret stream
The night falling at my feet
Into the forest of Yesterwynde
