The Lighthouse's Tale

歌詞

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 crash around me The sand slips out to the 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 her 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 the 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 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 And the waves crash around me The sand slips out to the 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 Ever since you mounted me I'm afraid that I am dying
