Fighting in a Lighthouse Lyrics
Through the curtains that blew apart
Drifted a strange old tune
And the sunlight with its dying rays
Floods the room with another day.
The senile sea numbers each single
Slim silvered stone.
The senile sea numbers each single
Slim silvered stone.
On the surface cool neon danced
Swam with a day old moon
And when I touched your fine boned shoulder
On the strand walking next to you.
The senile sea numbers each single
Slim silvered stone.
Through the curtains that blew apart
Drifted a strange old tune
And the lighthouse with its slender beam
Crossed the room where the woman leaned.
The senile sea numbers each single
Slim silvered stone.
Drifted a strange old tune
And the sunlight with its dying rays
Floods the room with another day.
Slim silvered stone.
The senile sea numbers each single
Slim silvered stone.
Swam with a day old moon
And when I touched your fine boned shoulder
On the strand walking next to you.
Slim silvered stone.
Drifted a strange old tune
And the lighthouse with its slender beam
Crossed the room where the woman leaned.
Slim silvered stone.

Compare above poem to "On the Beach at Fontana" By James Joyce (below) and note that the poem( or song) entitled "And Also The Trees – Fighting in a Lighthouse"repeats (four times!) Joyce's line,
The senile sea numbers each single Slim silvered stone.
It also misappropriates "fine boned shoulder"
On the Beach at Fontana by James Joyce
Wind whines and whines the shingle, The crazy pierstakes groan; A senile sea numbers each single Slimesilvered stone.
From whining wind and colder Grey sea I wrap him warm And touch his trembling fineboned shoulder And boyish arm.
Around us fear, descending Darkness of fear above And in my heart how deep unending Ache of love!
