The Lighthouse's Tale歌词

作词 : McKenzie, Thile
作曲 : Chris Thile/Adam McKenzie
I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
I keep my lamp lit
To warn the sailors on their way
I'll tell a story
Paint you a picture from my past
I was so happy
But joy in this life seldom lasts
I had a keeper
He helped me warn the ships at sea
We had grown closer
'Til his joy meant everything to me
He was to marry
A girl who shone with beauty and light
They loved each other
And with me watched the sunsets into nights
And the waves crash around me,
The sand slips out to sea,
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been, and what can never be
She'd had to leave us
My keeper, he prayed for a 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
And the waves crash around me,
The sand slips out to sea,
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been, and what can never be
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 buried in the sand
Then he climbed my tower
And off the edge of me he ran
And the waves crash around me,
The sand slips out to sea,
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been, and what can never be
I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
And though I'm empty
I still warn the sailors on their way编辑于2023/05/09更新
