One went out at a bus stop in edinburgh

One went out in an english park

One went out in a nightclub 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

Its getting dark in this heart of mine

Its 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 backstreets of manchester

One went out in an airport in spain

One went out I've 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 tumour

We used to fish and I fish no more

Though he will not return

I know one still burns

On a fishing boat off the new jersey shore

On a fishing boat off 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 shiny in our hearts

And they die along the way

Till we're old and we're cold

And lying in the dark

Cos they'll all burn out one day

They'll all burn out one day

They'll all burn out one day

They'll all burn out one day.
