About

Out past the boardwalk, little lights sway over the marsh. Follow them, they say, it's a short cut home. Nobody ever finds the boots in the sedge. And each morning, there's one more lantern.

Lyrics

Intro

Loo la lum

(hmm)

Loo la lum

(hmm mm)

Loo la lum

(hmm)

Loo la lum lum

(come)

Verse

Out past the cattails where the boardwalk ends

I light my lanterns and I make new friends

Honey and gold in a lazy sway

Travellers follow, and they lose their way

Mud to the ankle, then mud to the knee

Nobody hurries when they're following me

Hook

Wicked wonders on the waterside

(over here)

Little lanterns where the reeds divide

(this way)

Follow the amber, it's a short cut home

(closer)

Down where the bubbles and the marsh gas roam

(mind the mud)

Verse

Morning finds a boot in the sedge

One soggy map with a folded edge

Herons pretend that they never saw

Bullfrogs croaking out the marshland law

I count my lanterns and there's one extra now

New one is wobbly, still learning how

Slide Guitar Solo

Hook

Wicked wonders on the waterside

(over here)

Little lanterns where the reeds divide

(this way)

Follow the amber, it's a short cut home

(closer)

Down where the bubbles and the marsh gas roam

(mind the mud)

Breakdown

Loo la lum

(hush)

Loo la lum lum

(hush now)

[Spoken] "Created by DarkPrincess -- Royalty of the Night"

Instrumental

Hook

Pale gold dancers where the bog runs wide

(over here)

One more lantern swinging by my side

(new friend)

Nobody's lost if they're lost with me

(not lost)

Lanterns are all that the searchers see

(this way) (this way)
