Nickel Creek - The Lighthouse`s Tale слова песни
I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the wavesI keep my lamp lit to warn the sailors on their wayI`ll tell a story, paint you a picture from my pastI was so happy but joy in this life seldom lastsI had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at seaWe had grown closer `til his joy meant everything to meAnd he was to marry a girl who shown with beauty and lightThey loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into nightsAnd the waves crashing around meThe sand slips out to seaAnd the winds that blow remind meOf what has been and what can never beShe`d had to leave us; my keeper, he prayed for a safe returnBut when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turnedHe watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible windAnd me so helpless, as dashed against the rocks she met her endAnd the waves crashing around meThe sand slips out to seaAnd the winds that blow remind meOf what has been and what can never beThen on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shoreHe kissed her cold face, and that they`d be together soon he sworeI saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sandThen he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ranAnd the waves crashing around meThe sand slips out to seaAnd the winds that blow remind meOf what has been and what can never beI am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the wavesAnd though I`m empty I still warn the sailors on their way
