The Things He Carried Lyrics

(Light it up)
(a flash so thin)
(through a sky so grey )

Look away
Our faces turned
Its a plea to the ear
(plea to the ear)
Its a walk to my hands
Its a fall to my feet

(fall to my feet)
To find sympathy

Now you're lost
In the dark
And nowhere to be found
But I know you'll be waiting there for us
In the dark
And nowhere to be found
But I know you'll be waiting there

His fortunes
Our futures at hand
We light
Light up like cities in the night
His fortunes
Our futures at hand
We light
Light up like cities in the night

Light this
Like a happy scene.
It's a set.
It's all it takes,
To trick our eyes,
And fabricate.
Honest,
Honest goodbyes.

Now you're lost
In the dark
And nowhere to be found
But I know you'll be waiting there for us
In the dark
And nowhere to be found
But I know you'll be waiting there

Is fortunes.
Our futures at hand.
We light,
Light up like cities in the night.
(At times, our lives, light up like cities in the night)
Like rivers,
We splinter.
You don't have to leave.
Run away with me.
(At times, our lives, light up like cities in the night)
