wash ourselves up on the rocky shore
and in the morning it'll all be alright
cause the warm light guided us home
let's all swim out to the lighthouse
let the warm air dry the salt spray to our backs
we'll remain floating forever, no drowning
forever, sweet breath
and the bright beacon pulls me home
to your shore, great tower
and the wind touches me
i hear its voice, longing and lonely
the breaking waves are breaking me
oh they're breaking me apart
well i wish i was drifting
on the blackwater sea
can you tell us apart?
the dark waves and me
well i think you would spot me
and you'd send in your ring
not to be used for flotation
whatever good that does me
can you pull me out, can you pull me out
can you pull me out, can you pull me out
can you pull me out, can you pull me out
i do not think that i can make it this time
and the bright beacon pulls me home
to your shore, great tower
and the wind touches me
i hear its voice, longing and lonely
the breaking waves are breaking me
the breaking waves are breaking me apart
and the storm is rising,
i don't think this lighthouse can take much more
well the storm is rising,
go inside and shut the door
climb up to the top and make sure the light does not go out
we'll wait it out till morning or we'll watch the sea come down
we'll watch the sea come down on you and me
let's all swim out to the lighthouse
i do not think that i can make it this time
i don't think that i'm gonna make it this time
and the bright beacon pulls me home
to your shore, great tower
and the wind touches me
i hear its voice, longing and lonely
the breaking waves are breaking me
the breaking waves are breaking me apart
lighthouse
