The Lights Will Stay On

CHORUS: G / D / Am / C

And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
The light will stay on


Watched the city, . . . city of 
crows
Watched them fly, watched 'em all 
flyin' low

Out above the flood plain
Continues after the ad
Just above the dirt road

They were hungry as winter
Hungry as us
Not afraid to be flyin'
Not afraid to be lost

And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
The light will stay on

And if you bury me, add three feet 
to it
One for you sorrow, two for your 
sweat
Three for the strange things we 
never forget

And long after we're gone
The light will stay on
The light will stay on

And long after we're safe
The lights will not fade
The lights will not fade
