Lyrics
You, you're not the first to ask
And probably not the last
And I don't expect you to understand
Why I stayed upon this rock
After the birds had gone
And all of the waves turned to sand
I am a lighthouse
In a desert and i stand alone
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago
And I remember his cool waters and I still glow
These days the sunlight has bleached my paint
And the moonlight has made it plain
That nobody needs me to call them home
But i swear there was a time when
I would shine for him through the night
And he was the only ocean that I have known
I am a lighthouse
In a desert and I stand alone
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago
And I remember his cool waters and I still glow
Now my lantern bears a crack
And I know he will not be back
But I will leave the light on forever
I am a lighthouse
In a desert and I stand alone
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago
And I remember his cool waters and I still glow
