Lamplight May 8, 2003 She’s got the eyes of America He’s got the smile that takes her in And he tells her "Boy I gotta get out of here ‘Cause this damn world is sin." She stares on through his being Casting shadows on his life And she sees the dead awakening in him Sees he lost the fight But she ain’t giving up. No more Watch me fall No more I cannot see The energy No more I just can’t get away from here She says, "You gotta move on." He’ll wait outside by the light of a lamp She’ll take him wherever he’ll go But you know that he can’t even see it, You know that she’ll never just- go- -She don’t want to notice The way that things used to be ‘Cause she won’t handle his screaming Of life’s insanity And he’s gripping her arm. No more Watch me fall No more I cannot see The energy No more I just can’t get away from here She says, "You gotta move on." It’s late at night And three women walk by They’re all, covered in soot and snow. They tell this guy he needs to make his life Or where’s he gonna go? He’s curling, he’s ripping that thought He’s coming to terms with himself But only she knows what’ll happen next And if it’s gonna sell. No more Watch me fall No more I cannot see The energy No more I just can’t get away from here She says, "You gotta move on." Bridge: Dream keeper Lend me your light Dream keeper Let me see inside this life
