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 He was to marry A girl who shone with beauty and light They loved each other And with me watched the sunsets into nights And the waves crash 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 In me so helpless As dashed against the rocks she met her end And the waves crash 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 crash 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
This is not mine. this is a song written by the band Nickel Creek.
