Fumbling through a drawer of crap, on a mission for a match;
Lantern, where are you tonight? Where I left you at first light.
And that light switch on the wall? One flick and I could see it all.
But fun? Oh, where's the fun in that? Come on! Where's that match!
Blending of soft light to dark, so preferred to tungsten's spark of stark.
There's no magic in a filament, no room for dreams or where they went.
Kerosene makes way for dreams, spluttered light in droves and reams.
In the place betwixt lights hold and yield, I dance in reminiscing fields
Made room for me by kerosene and wick, not granted by a flicking switch.
The search is on for catalyst of sulfur kerosene and wick.
I'll find them, (found!) whoosh! To my dreams and quick!

Fumbling through a drawer of crap, on a mission for a match;
Lantern, where are you tonight? Where I left you at first light.
And that light switch on the wall? One flick and I could see it all.
But fun? Oh, where's the fun in that? Come on! Where's that match!
Blending of soft light to dark, so preferred to tungsten's spark of stark.
There's no magic in a filament, no room for dreams or where they went.
Kerosene makes way for dreams, spluttered light in droves and reams.
In the place betwixt lights hold and yield, I dance in reminiscing fields
Made room for me by kerosene and wick, not granted by a flicking switch.
The search is on for catalyst of sulfur kerosene and wick.
I'll find them, (found!) whoosh! To my dreams and quick!
