lyrics

Lighthouse

The ground is cold. The night is dark. The air is stale here by the hearth.
I should be drinking and forgetting, but my stubborn heart won’t let me.
I dream of you in a foreign land, deep blue water, golden sand.
Flowers bloom and worries die in your sturdy arms tonight.

I stand on the shore, watch the tide rolling on,
light the top of this house, wait for you.
Roof’s on fire, come to shore. Take me with you when you come
This is not my home anymore.

Your skin is dark; your eyes are bright. Your smile could chase away the night.
I know there’s more I dare not see, but my stubborn soul won’t stop me.
I call to you; you don’t respond. I’m left to wonder what went wrong.
Or maybe all is as it should be, and there is more to our mystery?

I stand on the shore, watch the tide rolling on,
light the top of this house, wait for you.
Roof’s on fire, come to shore. Take me with you when you come
This is not my home anymore.

Frozen wonders don’t escape; instead they melt and drain away.
I should be thankful, and I am, but these stubborn thoughts won’t end.
I dream of better days with you, all the things we didn’t do
all the things we didn’t say, all the time we spent miles and miles away…

I stand on the shore, watch the tide rolling on,
light the top of this house, wait for you.
Roof’s on fire, come to shore. Take me with you when you come
This is not my home anymore.

We’ve miles and miles yet to go, maps of each other yet to know.
When does the sun shine in the heart of darkness? (of darkness)

I stand on the shore, watch the tide rolling on,
light the top of this house, wait for you.
Roof’s on fire, come to shore. Take me with you when you come
This is not my home anymore.
This is not my home anymore.
This is not my home anymore.
