| [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 |
