Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Strings, soft cantabile — a single flute like a candle’s breath.
Ah—ah—ah, ahhh.
A lone lantern sways upon the morning bay.
[Verse 1]
By the quay where gulls keep counsel with the dawn,
I hold a small, beleaguered flame — a ship’s thin song.
Silver mist folds the hull in quiet lace,
A memory of amber hands, a harbor’s face.
[Pre-Chorus]
Aria rising, tremolo of heart and oar,
Each step a measure, each breath a corridor.
[Chorus]
Oh, keep my lantern lit through winter seas, ah—oh,
Guide the tired keel—guide me home, oh—ah.
Keep my lantern lit through winter seas, ah—oh,
Lantern lit, lantern lit, a single flame to know.
[Verse 2]
There was a morning pinned with cinnamon and low-lit rain,
We carved a name on driftwood, watched our shadow wane.
The tide took vows like pebbles, whispered them away,
But the lantern kept its vow to hold the passageway.
[Pre-Chorus]
Cantabile, the chorus lifts on open, round vowels,
Notes bloom like lighthouses along the reef of trials.
[Chorus]
Oh, keep my lantern lit through winter seas, ah—oh,
Guide the tired keel—guide me home, oh—ah.
Keep my lantern lit through winter seas, ah—oh,
Lantern lit, lantern lit, a single flame to know.
[Bridge — revelation]
Then came the night the mainmast snapped in gale and cry,
Black water wrote the names we thought would never die.
I watched the arc of faith break into salt and stone;
For a breath I felt alone — then heard the lantern’s tone.
It sang — an aria of small, ridiculous light,
A tremolo that parted thunder, cleft the night.
I learned the obvious truth: a candle dares to stand
And makes an ocean certain as a shore of hands.
[Chorus — triumphant]
So keep my lantern lit through winter seas, ah—oh,
Guide the weary keel—bring me close, oh—ah.
Keep my lantern lit through winter seas, ah—oh,
Lantern lit, lantern lit — sing the way and stay.
[Outro — coda]
Strings fade, the flute repeats that gentle breath,
Cantabile, the flame endures beyond the wreath.
Ah—ah—ah, ahhh.
Lantern lit, lantern lit — keep my lantern lit, ah—oh.
[Stage direction]
(For performance: sustain vowels on long notes; favor open vowels on climactic lines — ah / oh / ee — and let the chorus refrain "Lantern lit" become the recurring motif.)
