  • One went out at a bus-stop in Edinburgh
    One went out in an English park
    One went out in a night club, when I was fifteen
    Little lights in my heart

    One went out when I lied to my mother
    Said the cigarettes she found were not mine
    One went out within me
    Now I smoke like a chimney
    It's getting dark in this heart of mine
    It's getting dark in this heart of mine

    We're born with millions
    Of little lights shining in the dark
    And they show us the way
    One lights up, every time you feel love in your heart
    One dies when it moves away

    One went out in the back streets of Manchester
    One went out in an airport in Spain
    One went out, have no doubt
    When I grew up and moved out
    Of the place where the boy used to play

    One went out when uncle Ben got his tumor
    We used to fish and I fish no more
    Though we will not return
    I know one still burns
    On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore
    On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore

    We're born with millions
    Of little lights shining in the dark
    And they show us the way
    One lights up every time we feel love in our hearts
    One dies when it moves away

    We're born with millions
    Of little lights shining in our hearts
    And they die along the way
    Till we're old and we're cold
    And we're lying in the dark
    'Cause they'll all burn out one day
    They'll all burn out one day
    Oh oh, they'll all burn out one day
    They'll all burn out one day
    Yeah, no Writer/s: Michael David Rosenberg
