All the Little Lights

 Generic Structure

[Verse 1]
One went out at a bus-stop in Edinburgh
One went out in an English park
One went out in a night club, when I was fifteen
Little lights in my heart

[Verse 2]
One went out when I lied to my mother
Said the cigarettes she found were not mine
One went out within me
Now I smoke like a chimney
It's getting dark in this heart of mine
It's getting dark in this heart of mine

[Chorus]
We're born with millions
Of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up, every time you feel love in your heart
One dies when it moves away

[Verse 3]
One went out in the back streets of Manchester
One went out in an airport in Spain
One went out, have no doubt
When I grew up and moved out
Of the place where the boy used to play

[Verse 4]
One went out when uncle Ben got his tumor

We used to fish and I fish no more

Though we will not return

I know one still burns

On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore

On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore

[Chorus]

We're born with millions

Of little lights shining in the dark

And they show us the way

One lights up every time we feel love in our hearts

One dies when it moves away

We're born with millions

Of little lights shining in our hearts

And they die along the way

Till we're old and we're cold

And we're lying in the dark

'Cause they'll all burn out one day

They'll all burn out one day

Oh oh, they'll all burn out one day

They'll all burn out one day

Yeah, no
