Lyrics – 14. Kerosene Lantern

Judy Mayhan
Summerwind Music (BMI)

The kerosene lantern
Makes swallowing sounds
And coyotes howl on a moonless night
What do they say
In such poetic ways?
Perhaps even they do not like to be alone
For always

And I heard a voice
Crying for the moon to come
And take the ways of those strange dogs
And turn it into singing

Doo doo doooooo

You do commit yourself
Take the jagged knife
And cut away the bitter fruit

And listen to the voices
Sayin’
Remember not to hurt yourself
Remember
Remember
Remember not to hurt yourself
Baby
