Lyrics 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 'till his joy meant everything to me

And he was to marry a girl who shone with beauty and light

And they loved each other and with me watched the sunsets into night

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 wave

In me so helpless as dashed against the rock 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 that they'd be together soon he'd swore

I saw him crying watched as he buried her in the sand

And then he climbed my tower and off of 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 am empty I still warn the sailors on their way
