Lighthouse

It comes in Like the wind Through a door That I never meant to open up And leaves me stranded Right here, where I stand A distant land, I'm lost again. It comes in While I move. Like a hurricane It swallows me too soon And leaves me breathless Gasping for some air When nothing's there, Nothing's there. I need a lighthouse to guide me home Need a sailor's son with knives of bone To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn And spreads like wild fire, across the land. It comes in While I sleep Kisses my toes With lips that freeze my feet And leaves me shivering Lying in the cold No warmth to hold No warmth to hold. I need a lighthouse to brave this storm Need a sailor's arms to keep me warm An embrace that's patiently born From the raging sea, that crashes 'round me. I need a lighthouse to guide me home Need a sailor's son with knives of bone To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn And spreads like wild fire, across the land.
