I go to sleep, before  the devil wakes  and I wake up, before  the angels take  all my worldly desires  all my yardsticks of fear  all my secrets untold  all my motives unclear  hangin' down in the fire  burnin' them higher  won't take them away from here  and long after we're gone  the light will stay on X2  watched the city ... city of crows  watched them fly, watched  'em all flyin' low  out above the flood plain  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 X2  and if you bury me, add  three feet to it  one for your sorrow, two  for your sweat  three for the strange  things we never forget  and long after we're gone  the light will stay on X2  and long after we're safe  the lights will not fade X2
