Traveler's Lantern Songtext
von Dwight Yoakam

If deep in the night (if deep in the night)
You hear a voice calling
Lost and alone (lost and alone)
Barely able to speak

With each weary step (with each weary step)
Through cold shadows they stumble
Blindly along (blindly along)
Frail, hopeless and weak

Won′t you set out a traveler's lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home
Before they wander
Into the dark billows
That crash on the sea


At dawn′s rise you may find (at dawn's rise you may find)
The footprints of angels
Brought to fellowship there (brought to fellowship there)
By your mercy lamp's flame

Walking beside (walking beside)
The weary soul life′s forgotten
Bringing comfort and love (comfort and love)
And gently leading their way

Won′t you set out a traveler's lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home
Before they wander
Into the dark billows
That crash on the sea

--- Instrumental ---

Won′t you set out a traveler's lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home
Before they wander
Into the dark billows
That crash on the sea...
