Sailor Street Lamp Lyrics

You're in a picture on the 'Lian Restaurant' wall
From my childhood days, but you've stayed inside of me
All my life
Like a friend, like an icon, like a window
I can lean on you when I'm down

(Chorus:)
Street lamp, won't you shine your light on me?
Street lamp, I don't know where I would rather be
You're the city's own moon and stars
For the lovers of the sidewalks to see
Street lamp, shine on me

You're a beacon, you're a sanctuary for the little lost
Souls of the street, but you've been a part of me
All my life
Like a tramp, like a prostitute or a drunk I can lean on you when I'm down

(Repeat chorus)
(Soon the night will be over, soon the night will be
over)

I've been lost in your picture all my life
Like a friend, like a fixture, all my life
Street lamp
Street lamp
You're the city's own moon and stars
For the lovers of the sidewalks to see
Street lamp, shine on me
(Soon the night will be over, soon the night will be
over)
Street lamp, shine on me
(Soon the night will be over, soon the night will be
over)
Street lamp... (fade)
