Song information
Artist: Nickel Creek Album: Lighthouse Tale
Lyrics
I am a lighthouse Worn by the weather and the waves And I keep my lamp lit To warn the sailors on their way And I'm telling a story To paint you a picture from my past I was so happy The joy in this life seldom lasts I had a keeper He helped me warn the ships at sea We had grown closer Till his joy ment everything to me He was to marry A girl who shone beauty and life And they loved each other And with me watched the sun set in to night And the winds crashing around me The sand slips out to the sea
Chorus And the winds that blow remind me Of what been And what can never hurt me
She 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 tumble waves In me so helpless As she dashed against the rocks She met her end
Chorus
And on the next day My keeper found her washed up on the shore He kissed her cold face And that they'd be together again he swore I saw him crying Watched as he buried her in the sand And then he climbed my tower And off the edge of me he ran
Chorus
I am a lighthouse Worn by the weather and the waves And though I'm empty I still warn the sailors on their way
