Carry a Lantern Lyrics

hoo hooa hooahooa ha haa ha haa
hoo hooa hooahooa ha haa ha haa
hoo hooa hooahooa ha haa ha haa
When the door opens you take a chance they said
Now never lust over a little romance again,
And when the door closes you clasp your hands they said,
now pray before dinner over an old old friend they said
‘cause I can carry a lantern babe down any dark dark dark dark night
I can carry a lantern babe down any dark dark dark dark night.
Baby when I look up over it, in the night above,
I said, I know there’s something bigger than myself
I said, I know there’s something bigger than myself.
Even though your friends might deceit you,
Even though your lovers might cheat you,
Even though your heart might defeat you,
Even though… …someday we’ll die

Oooo ooha ooha oo oo aah haa ahh haa
Oooo ooha ooha oo oo aah haa ahh haa
Oooo ooha ooha oo oo aah haa ahh haa
Oooo ooha ooha oo oo aah haa ahh haa
Your friends they will tell you oh, walk along this road.
I said I will love myself I will love myself and no one else.
Your friends they will tell oh, hold their hands.
I said I will love myself I will love myself and no one else,
Baby I will carry this lantern oh so high.
Baby I will hold this lantern and hold it high.
Baby when I look up over it in the night above
I said, I know there is something bigger than myself
I said, baby I know there is something bigger than myself.
Oooo ooha ooha ooh hoo ahh haa ahh haa
Oooo ooha ooha ooh hoo ahh haa ahh haa
Oooo ooha ooha ooh hoo ahh haa ahh haa
Oooo ooha ooha ooh hoo ahh haa ahh haa
Oh baby to be a child is to hurt, I said,
Oh baby to be born, is to die and I said
I will carry a lantern ‘til the day you die.
Baby I will hold this lantern and hold it high.
Pull that, trigger now, to my heart I said,
Pull that, trigger now, and blow me apart
because I will carry a lantern ‘til the day you die.
Baby I will hold this lantern and hold it high,
‘cause I will carry a lantern ‘til the day you die.
I will carry a lantern now ‘til the day you, day you die.
