I know that tired look inside your eyes
Like you ain't got the hunger
I beg you don't give into all the time telling you that your song's been sung awayOh don't you keep your silence Sara Mae
Don't you ever retire
Just keep your lantern burning by the bedside baby, and let it burn that fireShine your weary, shine your weary light
Turn it on, until the dark is good and gone
and let it burnLight me a candle on that country night
So I can know where to find you
Send out our secret smoke signals and lay your hopes in all that grows around youShine your weary, shine your weary light
Turn it on, until the dark is good and gone
and let it burn
Gotta let it burn, burn, burn
gotta let it burn, burn, burn
Just a little bit, leave a light on in the window pane
Cuz the dark don't dictate
and the trouble don't tell the time
Even when you're dragging the dead weight
You gotta let it shine
You gotta let it burn
