And your baby's hanging on looking at pictures on the phone

You're back at home while I've gone away

We thought it wouldn't feel long cause aren't we so independent

But the wind out here is strong it

Blew right through those confidences

And the sky's been coming down as if the green could get more green

As if the poppies had just thirst and thought the sun was just a dream

The water on the road looks like a river lost control

Spilling out the seams and soaking through my jeans

And up to the hill run right through the battery

The military men have gone and left this all to me

Listen the wind is making songs in the trees all the day long

They're singing more than me they're making their own reveille

I want the lighthouse to be on

When the evening's coming on

Cause when the lighthouse isn't on

The night can feel so long

Turn on the lighthouse turn it on

So the nights don't feel so long

I'm just out here watching clouds I could be famous for doing this

Just thinking thoughts there's nothing to it

And in the days I'll make it right I've got my work to do

I can clean out the windows and serenade the view

But when the sky gets dark and down I just want to be known by you

In our lighthouse I can feel it, feel it too

I want the lighthouse to be on

When the evening's coming on

Cause when the lighthouse isn't on

The night can feel so long

Turn on the lighthouse turn it on

Put the million candles on

I want the lighthouse to be on

When the evening's coming on

Cause when the lighthouse isn't on

The night can feel so long

Turn on the lighthouse turn it on

Put the million candles on
