Lighthouse
It comes in
Like the wind
Through a door
That I never meant to open up
And leaves me stranded
Right here, where I stand
A distant land,
I'm lost again.
It comes in
While I move.
Like a hurricane
It swallows me too soon
And leaves me breathless
Gasping for some air
When nothing's there,
Nothing's there.
I need a lighthouse to guide me home
Need a sailor's son with knives of bone
To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn
And spreads like wild fire, across the land.
It comes in
While I sleep
Kisses my toes
With lips that freeze my feet
And leaves me shivering
Lying in the cold
No warmth to hold
No warmth to hold.
I need a lighthouse to brave this storm
Need a sailor's arms to keep me warm
An embrace that's patiently born
From the raging sea, that crashes 'round me.
I need a lighthouse to guide me home
Need a sailor's son with knives of bone
To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn
And spreads like wild fire, across the land.
Like the wind
Through a door
That I never meant to open up
And leaves me stranded
Right here, where I stand
A distant land,
I'm lost again.
It comes in
While I move.
Like a hurricane
It swallows me too soon
And leaves me breathless
Gasping for some air
When nothing's there,
Nothing's there.
I need a lighthouse to guide me home
Need a sailor's son with knives of bone
To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn
And spreads like wild fire, across the land.
It comes in
While I sleep
Kisses my toes
With lips that freeze my feet
And leaves me shivering
Lying in the cold
No warmth to hold
No warmth to hold.
I need a lighthouse to brave this storm
Need a sailor's arms to keep me warm
An embrace that's patiently born
From the raging sea, that crashes 'round me.
I need a lighthouse to guide me home
Need a sailor's son with knives of bone
To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn
And spreads like wild fire, across the land.
