All The Little Lights - Passenger
One went out at a bus-stop in Edinburgh
One went out in an English park
One went out in a night club, 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
It's getting dark in this heart of mine
It's 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 back streets of Manchester
One went out in an airport in Spain
One went out, have 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 tumor
We used to fish and I fish no more
Though we will not return I know one still burns
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore
( * )
We're born with millions Of little lights shining in our hearts
And they die along the way Till we're old and we're cold
And we're lying in the dark 'Cause they'll all burn out one day
They'll all burn out one day
Oh oh, they'll all burn out one day
They'll all burn out one day
