Bright Lanterns
Intro C Am F G
Verse
C Am
Well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after,
F G
and memories of gold on the run, flying around,
C Am
was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty,
F G
a vision of a mountain you say, so where did it go?
Bridge
G7 Am F G
It was light and i held it like a child to be saved
G7 Am F
from the fires and from the falling down satellites
G
but still wondering
Chorus
C F C Am
"Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain
Em Am F G
though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine,
C F C Am
and fallen kids all rising men among their logs, but leavers,
Em Am F G
suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles,
G C
it's only what these kids will haul around."
C Am F G
Verse
C Am
Well there's a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers,
F G
and medicine for balancing things, like seeing your ghosts,
C Am
So thank god we're bright, said the lanterns brother,
F G
cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see
Bridge
G7 Am F G
It was day and I stood there once again climbing quick
G7 Am F G
when I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering
but he said
Chorus
C F C Am
"Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger
Em Am F G
though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights,
C F C Am
I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages,
Em Am F G
always believing there's a canyon for every blind,
G C
it's only what these kids will haul around."
C Am F G

Chorus 2
Outro (Verse repeated then fades out)
We have clear blue waking skies
and the morning after
and memories of gold on the run
flying around
was there a drunken cloud
over someone just empty
a vision of a mountain you said
so where did it go
It was light and I held it like a child to be saved
from the fires, from the falling down satellites
but still wondering
Damn, you always treat me like a stranger, mountain
though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine
and fallen kids, all rising mad among their lost believers
suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles
It's only what these kids will haul around
There's a lot of selling land for hungry feet of answers
and medicine for balance and things, like seeing your ghosts
thank god we're bright, said the lantern's brother,
because I don't know a thing about boats, or the land I see...
It was day and i stood there once again, climbing equipped
when I knew you were the one throwing dying stars
on our gathering
but he said, damn, you always treat me like a mountain, stranger
though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights
I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages
always believing there's a canyon for every blind
it's only what these kids will haul around.
