NICKEL CREEK - The Lighthouses Tale (Radio Edit) lyrics

rate me

I am a lighthouse,

worn by the weather and the waves.

I keep my lamp lit,

to warn the sailors on their way.

I'll tell a story,

paint you a picture from my past.

I was so happy...

but joy in this life seldom lasts.

I had a keeper;

he helped me warn the ships at sea.

We had grown closer,

till his joy meant everything to me.

And He was to marry,

a girl who shone with beauty and light.

And they loved each other,

and with me watched the sunsets into night.
