Bright Eyes How Many Lights Do You See Lyrics

How Many Lights Do You See Lyrics

How many lights do you see?

How many lights do you see?

There's one to say that night has come

And there's one that guards this jagged shore

And there's one to call the children home

And there's one to light the path they take

How many lights do you see?

How many lights do you see?

There's one to keep the shadows off

And there's one that tells me she got home

And there's one to read his novel by

And there's one that warms this dreary room

And there's one to watch the baby sleep

And there's one to count the blinking stars

And there's one that I just can't forget

And there's one that I remember too

How many lights do you see?

How many lights do you see?

There's one that waits for closing time

And there's one that gets left on all night

And there's one that marks the western sky

And it shines down on the quiet street

And there's one that floods the darker parts

And there's one that hurts my tired eyes

And there's one that says she's not asleep

And there's one that waits for her to wake

How many lights do you see?

How many lights do you see?

There is one that spills out on the beach

And it sparkles on the jetting rocks

And there is one that waits for tired ships

That sleep within this tired port
