Born to die, Born to die
darling you'll live
No longer than your years
If heaven and earth are both on the market
Then 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
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'll 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
