Those sad sad songs that make you want to cry...

We all know them..  those sad sad songs that make us want to cry but that we love to listen to

Village Lanterne  -  Blackmore's Night

It's about the memory of someone who has passed on . . . a soldier, perhaps, or someone who put up a brave fight for justice. It's open to interpretation. It makes me think of my dad.

Don't shed a tear for me
I stand alone
This path of destiny
Is all my own
Once in the hands of fate
There is no choice
An echo on the wind
You'll hear my voice

Some choose to fall behind
Some choose to lead
Some choose a golden path
Laden with greed
But it's the noble heart
That makes you strong
And in that heart, I'm with you all along

The olde village lanterne
Is calling me onward
Leading wherever I roam
The olde village lanterne
A light in the dark

Bringing me closer to home

So when you think of me
Do so with pride
Honor and bravery
Ruled by my side
And in your memory
I will remain
I will forever be within the flame

Now at the journey's end
We've travelled far
And all we have to show
Are battle scars
But in the love we shared
We will transcend
And in that love, our journey never ends

Don't shed a tear for me
I stand alone
This path of destiny
Is all my own
Once in the hands of fate
There is no choice
An echo on the wind

You'll hear my voice

You'll hear my voice
You'll hear my voice
You'll hear my voice
