The Lighthouse's Tale |
I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves |
I keep my lamp lit to warn the sailors on their way |
I’ll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past |
I was so happy but joy in this life seldom lasts |
I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea |
We had grown closer 'til his joy meant everything to me And he was to marry a girl who shown with beauty and light |
They loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into nights |
And the waves crashing around me The sand slips out to sea |
And the winds that blow remind me Of what has been and what can never be She’d had to leave us; |
my keeper, he prayed for a safe return |
But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned |
He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wind |
And me so helpless, as dashed against the rocks she met her end |
And the waves crashing around me The sand slips out to sea |
And the winds that blow remind me Of what has been and what can never be Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore |
He kissed her cold face, and that they’d be together soon he swore |
I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand |
Then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran |
And the waves crashing around me The sand slips out to sea |
And the winds that blow remind me Of what has been and what can never be I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves |
And though I’m empty I still warn the sailors on their way |
