[Verse 1]
Brass and copper, worn but bright
Standing guard through endless nights
On grandma's bench in '62
When steel met steam and sparks flew
Her calloused hands would wind it up
While stories filled her coffee cup
[Chorus]
This lamplight burns for me and you
Newcastle nights and morning dew
A legacy in metal shine
Threading hope through space and time
Oh, this lamplight shows the way
Through every dark and doubtful day
[Verse 2]
Mill dust settled in her hair
Whispered prayers of work and wear
She'd say "girl, keep your head held high
When smokestacks fade from northern skies"
Now it sits in my front room
Dancing shadows, spinning loom
[Bridge]
"The world keeps turning, love," she'd say
"While factory gates rust away
But we're still standing, proud and true
Just like this lamp, we'll make it through"
[Chorus]
This lamplight burns for me and you
Newcastle nights and morning dew
A legacy in metal shine
Threading hope through space and time
Oh, this lamplight shows the way
Through every dark and doubtful day
[Verse 3]
Sometimes when the power's down
And silence wraps around this town
I light that lamp and feel her near
Her strength flows through the atmosphere
Three generations, one small flame
Different lives but still the same
[Outro]
And when my daughter asks one day
About the lamp that lights her way
I'll tell her 'bout the woman strong
Who worked and loved and carried on
This brass and copper testament
To all the lives we represent
In lamplight's glow, we're never gone
Just passing stories, carrying on
