Lighthouse Lyrics

Lighthouse lyrics

Take what you need while there's time

The city will be earth in a short
while

If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames

You and I will escape
to the seaside



There is a storm in the distance

The wind
breathing warning of its imminence

There is a lighthouse five hundred
yards down

You and I will be safe there



There is a girl who
haunts that lighthouse

She saved me, I was swimming

So young I
almost drowned

Under the water she sang a story

Of losing her
lover

She calls a warning



Love, you are foolish, you're
tired

Your sleeplessness makes you a liar

The city is burning

The ocean is turning

Our only chance is the lighthouse



Her
lover was a sailor

She went and she waited there

The door locked
from the outside

Lover never arrived so she sings there

Soft as a
siren luring the ships off their course, how alarming



We went in,
we climbed up and looked out

The door locked from the outside

Three
ghosts in a lighthouse
