Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : McKenzie, Thile
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Chris Thile/Adam McKenzie
[00:26.37] I am a lighthouse
[00:28.80] Worn by the weather and the waves
[00:33.99] I keep my lamp lit
[00:37.05] To warn the sailors on their way
[00:42.30] I'll tell a story
[00:45.39] Paint you a picture from my past
[00:50.52] I was so happy
[00:53.52] But joy in this life seldom lasts
[01:15.33] I had a keeper
[01:18.39] He helped me warn the ships at sea
[01:23.58] We had grown closer
[01:26.70] 'Til his joy meant everything to me
[01:31.98] He was to marry
[01:34.95] A girl who shone with beauty and light
[01:40.14] They loved each other
[01:43.20] And with me watched the sunsets into nights
[01:48.96] And the waves crash around me,
[01:53.07] The sand slips out to sea,
[01:56.76] And the winds that blow remind me
[02:00.72] Of what has been, and what can never be
[02:25.56] She'd had to leave us
[02:28.74] My keeper, he prayed for a safe return
[02:33.93] But when the night came
[02:37.02] The weather to a raging storm had turned
[02:42.24] He watched her ship fight
[02:44.91] But in vain against the wild and terrible wind
[02:50.52] In me so helpless
[02:53.52] As dashed against the rocks she met her end
[02:58.80] And the waves crash around me,
[03:02.64] The sand slips out to sea,
[03:09.84] And the winds that blow remind me
[03:11.04] Of what has been, and what can never be
[03:36.09] Then on the next day
[03:39.03] My keeper found her washed up on the shore
[03:44.34] He kissed her cold face
[03:47.43] And that they'd be together soon he swore I saw him crying
[03:55.83] Watched as he buried in the sand
[04:00.96] Then he climbed my tower
[04:04.50] And off the edge of me he ran
[04:09.54] And the waves crash around me,
[04:13.71] The sand slips out to sea,
[04:20.79] And the winds that blow remind me
[04:21.51] Of what has been, and what can never be
[04:38.79] I am a lighthouse
[04:41.22] Worn by the weather and the waves
[04:44.64] And though I'm empty
[04:49.38] I still warn the sailors on their way
