I see that lantern trimmed
Low burning in our home
And though I feel like crying
I swear tonight, I'll cry no more
How many times have I prayed
That I would get lost along the way
Dream with the feathers of angels
Stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Is his wallet leather?
Is his wallet fat?
For not a year later it's got you
Lying on your back
You should have closed your windows
And got another dog
You should have chained up all the doors
And switched up all the locks
And how many times have I prayed
The angels would speed me away
Dream with the feathers of angels
Stuffed beneath your head
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
