Carry On

歌詞

Beside my bed there is a lamp And in that lamp there is a lonely moth He's got one night, he's got one life And one thing on his mind, and that's the fire He doesn't care from where it comes He only knows he's got to run Toward the brightest promise in his eye Now he's circling to the ground His wings have burned, he's falling down I just watch, and wonder how we carry on It was a world I never made I just fell into this old parade They told me it's my time to shine And they got ways to light me up at night They didn't care from where I came It seemed they lost their pride and shame Looking for a fire of their own One last ember hits the ground The wood's all burned, it's ashes now If you look up to the moon, you'll help me carry on Old man in a bar tonight He sits down on a stool to watch the fight He says "One last drink to light me up And then I do believe I've had enough" Chasing dreams that end in pain I've chased the sun, I've chased the rain But nothing ever seemed to fill my cup I see the angels circling now I feel the moon behind the clouds That's the kind of fire I'd be proud to carry on
