All The Little Lights

All The Little Lights

One went out at a bus stop in Edinburgh One went out in an english park One went out in a nightclub when I was fifteen Little lights in my heart One went out when I lied to my mother Said the cigarettes she found were not mine One went out within me now I smoke like a chimney Its getting dark in this heart of mine Its getting dark in this heart of mine We’re born with millions of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way One lights up Every time you feel love in your heart One dies when it moves away One went out in the backstreets of Manchester One went out in an airport in Spain One went out I’ve no doubt when I grew up and moved out Of the place where the boy used to play One went out when uncle ben got his tumour We used to fish and I fish no more Though he will not return I know one still burns On a fishing boat off the new jersey shore On a fishing boat off the new jersey shore We’re born with millions of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way One lights up Every time we feel love in our hearts One dies when it moves away We’re born with millions of little lights shiny in our hearts And they die along the way Till we’re old and we’re cold And lying in the dark Cos they’ll all burn out one day They’ll all burn out one day They’ll all burn out one day They’ll all burn out one day
