Intro: (x2) verse 1 Light up my lantern, I'll cut you a path, We've walked for hours and it's getting dark We left the roadside in search of aid, Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made I've never seen someone bleeding like this, Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist verse 2 I'll light the stove and sit by the hearth, Orangey glow light the wintry dark We kept her bedroom exactly the same, Winters they followed and Summers they came He'd bash around, banging down on the floor I sit alone with an eye on the door Bridge - Strumming (Personal Preference) Stop in this clearing, we'll stay here tonight Press up against me, I'll hold you so tight I got these matches, we'll let off some smoke Maybe they'll see us and maybe they won't Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars, I'll lie awake listening out for cars verse 3 He stares through curtains when he talks to the night, I sit and listen for tires on the drive I keep on waiting and he keeps on talking Just stop him talking, please stop him talking Outro - Just strum downwards here no upward strums No, give me silence Give me silence, Give me silence Oh, no...
