The Lighthouse's Tale

One, two One, two, three, four I am a lighthouse Worn by the weather and the waves And I keep my lamp lit To warn the sailors on their way I'll tell a story Paint you a picture from my past And 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 'Til his joy meant everything to me 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 And the waves crashing around me And the sand slips out to sea And the winds that blow remind me of what has been And what can never be She'd had to leave us My keeper, he prayed for a safe return But when the night came The weather to a raging storm had turned He watched her ship fight But in vain against the wild and terrible wave In me so helpless As dashed against the rock she met her end And the waves crashing around me The sand slips out to sea And the winds that blow remind me of what has been And what can never be Then on the next day My keeper found her washed up on the shore He kissed her cold face That they'd be together soon, he'd swore I saw him crying Watched as he buried her in the sand And then he climbed my tower And off of the edge of me he ran And the waves crashing around me The sand slips out to sea And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been And what can never be I am a lighthouse Worn by the weather and the waves And though I'm empty I still warn the sailors on their way Oh, ladies and gentlemen I'll like to sing for you all a story
