Lyrics Mandolin Orange – Until The Last Light Fades

Born to die, born to die darling you’ll live
No longer than your years
Heaven and earth are both on the market
Hell is nothing to fear

So where oh where have the lights gone, love
Has the sun retired for the day
Or has life outlived these eyes of mine
Please stay until the last light fades

Father oh my father I’ll be standing in line
To face what faults are mine
It’s not these old bones that I’ll miss in my dying
It’s the girl I’m leaving behind

So where oh where have the lights gone, love
Has the sun retired for the day
Or has life outlived these eyes of mine
Please stay until the last light fades

Love of mine, sweet love of mine I’ll soon return
To the land to make room for the new
I give hell my worst and good to this earth
As for heaven it was found in you

So where oh where have the lights gone, love
Has the sun retired for the day
Or has life outlived these eyes of mine
Please stay until the last light fades
