Lyrics The Lighthouse - Wintersleep

The Lighthouse

I said thank you and I left there
Took a drive I just took a drive
Through the charcoal gentle morning
Through that small town eternal sigh
All the way up to the lighthouse
Where we spent so many nights
Taking drugs, taking drugs, smoking and drinking
Betraying, betraying our darkest secrets to the moon
All the way up to the lighthouse
Where we spent so many nights
Always thought you’d live a long life
You’re a ghost now on your own time
Pulled the keys out and left the car there
Walked though days and nights and years
Closed my eyes to find the beaches
There I waded a few more years
Shoulder blades cut through the ocean
To the center of the moon
Like a dream, like a dream I half remember
Eroding, eroding
We’re eroding way too soon
All the way up to the lighthouse
Where we spent so many nights
Always thought you’d live a long life
You’re a ghost on your own time
Are you on the moon?
Are you on the moon?
Is my heart your tomb?
Is my heart your tomb?
I descend now underwater
Let it overcome my body
Hold my breath, deep concentrating
Under the deep, slowly falling
Like a dream
Like a dream we half remember
Eroding, eroding
We’re eroding way too soon
