Words and music by Mikkel McDow

lyrics

Lamplight here I am standing in your shadow again
Lamplight how well I know all that glitters it isn't gold
Once I had money more than that I had a house on a hill
There in my house surrounded by things
It was my castle and I was the king
Lamplight but there I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight I'm here to tell you can drown face down in a wishing will

Once I had a girl more than that
she was my whole world
We used to dance the whole night through
And not once did I think of you Lamplight
But here I am standing in your shadow again
Lamplight I gotta run you can't regret
What you haven't done Lamplight

Lamplight there I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight I gotta say it must be my unlucky day
Once I had money more than that
I had a house on a hill
It was my castle and I was the king
Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy
Lamplight I'm here to tell you can drown face down in a wishing well

Lamplight here I am leaning on your lampost again
Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy
Lamplight there I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight I gotta run you can't regret what you haven't done

Once I had a girl more than that
She was my whole world
We used to dance the whole night through
And not once did I think of you
Lamplight here I go dancing in your lonely shadow
Lamplight don't you see I had a date with tragedy
Lamplight o talk to me Lamplight
You're just standing there staring Lamplight
