A Google search for crazy ladies in gingergread houses brought up these lyrics. Can anybody identify the song and tell us about it?
"Light The Lanterns"
She was born on a magic island
There's a certain mythology
I was already on the outside
I wanted to be what I wanted to be
She took me to illumination night;
To pass on a legacy
Crazy ladies in gingerbread houses
Light the lanterns for the shipwrecked sailors
Celebrate the homecoming
Celebrate the moment when
The will to live collides with love
Lights the lanterns, everyone
And pray that the rain won't come
She left me with Grace the next year
She went away, I don't know where
Grace got drunk in a Chinese restaurant
So all I saw were the lights extinguishing
I'm going back on Illumination Night
To see if I can light the lights
Crazy ladies in gingerbread houses
Light the lanterns for the shipwrecked sailors
Celebrate the homecoming
