Lighthouse Lyrics
You, you're not the first to ask—
Probably not the last—
And I don't expect you to understand
Why I stayed upon that rock
After the birds had gone
And all of the waves turned to sand.
But I am a lighthouse in a desert, and I stand alone.
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago.
And I remember his cool waters, and I still glow.
These days, the sunlight has bleached my paint;
The moonlight has made it plain
That nobody needs me to call them home.
But I swear there was a time when I
Would shine for him through the night,
And he was the only ocean that I have known.
And I am a lighthouse in a desert, and I stand alone.
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago.
And I remember his cool waters, and I still glow.
Now my lantern bears a crack,
And I know he won’t be back,
But I will leave the light on forever.
‘Cause I am a lighthouse in a desert, and I stand alone.
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago.
And I remember his cool waters.
I remember his cool waters.
I remember his cool waters, and I still glow.
Probably not the last—
And I don't expect you to understand
Why I stayed upon that rock
After the birds had gone
And all of the waves turned to sand.
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago.
And I remember his cool waters, and I still glow.
The moonlight has made it plain
That nobody needs me to call them home.
But I swear there was a time when I
Would shine for him through the night,
And he was the only ocean that I have known.
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago.
And I remember his cool waters, and I still glow.
And I know he won’t be back,
But I will leave the light on forever.
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago.
And I remember his cool waters.
I remember his cool waters.
I remember his cool waters, and I still glow.
