To the Lighthouse
I could walk the water
Sail the Irish Sea
Travel across the border
With my love for thee
I don't have a boat
I'm no messiah
Just the second-born
Tougher-skinned daughter
We were always drawn to drowning
Shared childhood dreams
And I knew what you were thinking
Back when we loved the same things
Now rocks and the sands at the cliff-edge of your land
Make the brightest days, but longer shadows cast
Lately, I've been wondering if these gales are at your door
Crashing up against old defensive walls
And I can see the lighthouse
Is where you want to be
With its beacon of danger
Ancient mystery
And your children will grow to be hardier and free
Than we ever were or could ever be
All the lives we ever lived and all the lives we'll lead
May they keep the storms at bay and hold us peacefully
Oh, how your beauty
Is like a closed shell
One that yearns to open
Reveal its treasure well
And I will walk the water
Brave the Irish Sea
Prove no man's an island
With my love for thee
Sail the Irish Sea
Travel across the border
With my love for thee
I don't have a boat
I'm no messiah
Just the second-born
Tougher-skinned daughter
We were always drawn to drowning
Shared childhood dreams
And I knew what you were thinking
Back when we loved the same things
Now rocks and the sands at the cliff-edge of your land
Make the brightest days, but longer shadows cast
Lately, I've been wondering if these gales are at your door
Crashing up against old defensive walls
And I can see the lighthouse
Is where you want to be
With its beacon of danger
Ancient mystery
And your children will grow to be hardier and free
Than we ever were or could ever be
All the lives we ever lived and all the lives we'll lead
May they keep the storms at bay and hold us peacefully
Oh, how your beauty
Is like a closed shell
One that yearns to open
Reveal its treasure well
And I will walk the water
Brave the Irish Sea
Prove no man's an island
With my love for thee
