The telegraph cable’s out
The few can decipher where the message is from
And delivering quietly
‘Cause some don’t get much company

The harbor becomes the sea
And light in the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
Don’t let it hurt you
Or it will be the first to
'Cause

The water
The water came to realize
It's dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain came to recognize
It's deep and rocky sides
More than realized

I’m pale as a pile of bones
You hope for your babies and this is how they grow
With batter knocked over
The teeth bite the shoulder
Watching the gray sky that’s acting like a good guy

Light house museum
Light house museum
Light house museum
Light house museum

The water
The water came to realize
It's dangerous size
The mountain
The mountain came to recognize
It's deep and rocky sides
More than realized
