To the Lighthouse Lyrics
She sits like a sentinel
Our meeting on a beach
To see her out there means something's not out of reach and
Us and our invalid plans
Parched on watered soil
They turn to flames, the eyes of the old man now
So take us to the lighthouse
Parcels on our laps
Over to the lighthouse
We will paddle out
Yeah only she can tuck us in
Not we ourselves
'Cos genius is cold within
A rusted shell
He's an old icings dream
A brittle yellow brook
A tiny thin candle for a heart and a brain but
If that's all that we have left
An umbrella in the wind
This house will be left to gills and the rats now
So take us to the lighthouse
Parcels on our laps
Over to the lighthouse
And you'll swim out
Yeah only she can tuck us in
Not we ourselves
'Cos genius is so cold within
A rusted shell
Theres no need to remind us of what we've lost
We have now gained your transport
At such a cost
We ain't known or even free
Or halfway to clever without her
Our Mrs Ramsey
Our meeting on a beach
To see her out there means something's not out of reach and
Parched on watered soil
They turn to flames, the eyes of the old man now
Parcels on our laps
Over to the lighthouse
We will paddle out
Not we ourselves
'Cos genius is cold within
A rusted shell
A brittle yellow brook
A tiny thin candle for a heart and a brain but
An umbrella in the wind
This house will be left to gills and the rats now
Parcels on our laps
Over to the lighthouse
And you'll swim out
Not we ourselves
'Cos genius is so cold within
A rusted shell
We have now gained your transport
At such a cost
Or halfway to clever without her
Our Mrs Ramsey
