Paint me a picture

Like a lighthouse by the coast she is guiding boats
A light column on their emotions frozen ocean
Like a ghost I am floating unseen and unnoticed
I bear a boulder on my shoulder for what I didn't do last night
But from now on I will always just be another one of the ones that the
Lighthouse guided home
Safe but alone
I was guided home

Tell me a story and paint me a picture
Our canvas is empty so please take it with ya
To your atelier where your work of art reflects your wisdom
So tell me a story and let your words paint this one

There's treehouse built in the crowns of the trees in the woods
Near the sea, she is in the mood for
Never do anything else in her life
Than using her lantern to guide the abandoned
Ships and souls to get them safely home
To rest their skin and bones before they return to the storm
I bear a boulder on my shoulder for what I didn't do last night
But from now on I will always just be another of the ones
That the lighthouse guided home
Safe but alone
I was guided home

You have told me your story, you have painted me a picture
Our canvas is colorful so put it in a frame
And hang it on the wall in the hall of all
The paintings that you've made
But darling there will always be another wall to paint
