The Lighthouse's Tale

I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
I keep my lamp lit
To warn the sailors on their way

I tell a story
Paint a picture from my past
I was so happy
But joy in this life seldom last

I had a keeper
He helped warn the ships at sea
We had grown closer
Till his joy meant everything to me

He was to marry
A girl who shown with beauty and life
They loved each other
And with me watched the sunsets into nights

Chorus:
And the waves crashing around me
The sands slippin out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been
And what can never be

She'd have to leave us
My keeper he prayed for 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 wind
In me so helpless
As dashed against the rocks she met her end

(Chorus)

Then on the next day
My keeper found her washed up on the shore
He kissed her cold face
And that they'd be together soon he swore

I saw him crying
Watched as he burried her in the sand
Then he climbed tower
And off the edge of me he ran

(Chorus)

I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
And though I'm empty
I still warn the sailors on their way
