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

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

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
And maybe they´ll see up and maybe they won´t
Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars,
I´ll lie awake listening out for cars

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 keep on talking
Just stop him talking, please stop him talking

No, give me silence
Give me silence,
Give me silence
Oh, no…
