Lighthouse

And "I know, I know", as I dove in overboard
"Don't fall, don't fall", with the rocks against my skull
All the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks and the corners of your boat
I know
And all through cover, the rain will sweep and swallow you alive
Without a trace or a tear across the sky
And oh, my lover, not the grace or the elegance can hide
But give you enough time to finally say goodbye
So save my soul and save my life
And "I know, I know", as I dove in overboard
"Don't fall, don't fall", with the rocks against my skull
All the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks and the corners of your boat
I know
And good God, good God, if you hear me, see me suffering tonight
Would you hold my hand or strike it down with a light?
This ship won't hold or break against the bracken in the night
And the ice beneath the freezing sea in sight
So save my soul and save my life
So save my soul and save my life
And "I know, I know", as I dove in overboard
"Don't fall, don't fall", with the rocks against my skull
All the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks and the corners of your boat
We heard them yell
"Save me, save me"
"Save me, save me"
"Save me, save me"
"Save me, save me, oh"
And "I know, I know", as I dove in overboard
And she screamed "don't fall" as the rocks they crushed my skull
And the waves came crashing down against the hull
And seeped in through the cracks and the corners of your boat
As the storm begins to lift
And we're sinking to the floor
And the lighthouse sees a wreck
Upon it's nearest shore
"Save me, save me"
"Save me, save me"
