Lyrics
She was born on a magic island
There’s a certain mythology I was already on the outside
I wanted to be what I wanted to be She took me to illumination night
To pass on the legacy
Crazy ladies in gingerbread houses
Light the lanterns for the shipwrecked sailors
Celebrate the homecoming
Celebrate the moment when
The will to live collides with love
Light the lanterns everyone
And pray that the rain won’t come
She left me with Grace the next year
She went away I don’t know where
Grace got drunk in a Chinese restaurant
So all I saw was the lights extinguishing
I’m going back on illumination night
To see if I can light the lights
Crazy ladies in gingerbread houses
Light the lanterns for the shipwrecked sailors
Celebrate the homecoming
Celebrate the moment when
The will to live collides with love
Light the lanterns everyone
And pray that the rain won’t come
Crazy ladies in ginger bread houses
Light the lanterns for shipwrecked sailors
Celebrate the homecoming
Celebrate the moment when
The will to live collides with love
Light the lanterns everyone
And pray that the rain won’t come
