The Lighthouses Tale (Radio Edit) Lyrics
I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
And I keep my lamp lit
To warn the sailors on their way
And I'm telling a story
To paint you a picture from my past
I was so happy
The joy in this life seldom lasts
I had a keeper
He helped me warn the ships at sea
We had grown closer
Till his joy ment everything to me
He was to marry
A girl who shone beauty and life
And they loved each other
And with me watched the sun set in to night
And the winds crashing around me
The sand slips out to the sea
CHORUS
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what been
And what can never hurt me
She had to leave us
My keeper
He prayed for a safe return
But when the night came
The weather to a raging storm had turned
He watched her ship fight
But in vain against the wild and tumble waves
In me so helpless
As she dashed against the rocks
She met her end
CHORUS

And on the next day
My keeper found her washed up on the shore
He kissed her cold face
And that they'd be together again he swore
I saw him crying
Watched as he buried her in the sand
And then he climbed my tower
And off the edge of me he ran
CHORUS
I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
And though I'm empty
I still warn the sailors on their way
