Lighthouse

'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard.

'Don't fall, don't fall', with the rocks against my skull

All the waves came crashing down against the hull

And seeped in through the cracks of the corners of your boat

I know

And all through cover

The rain will sweep and swallow you alive

Without a trace, or a tear across the sky

And oh, my lover

Not the grace or the elegance can hide

But give you enough time to say goodbye

Save my soul, save my life

'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard.

'Don't fall, don't fall', with the rocks against my skull

All the waves came crashing down against the hull

And seeped in through the cracks of the corners of your boat

I know

And good God, good God

If you see me, hear me suffering tonight

Would you hold my hand or strike it down with light?

This ship won't hold

Or break against the bracken in the night

The ice beneath the freezing sea in sight

Save my soul, save my life

Save my soul, save my life

'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard.

'Don't fall, don't fall', with the rocks against my skull

All the waves came crashing down against the hull

And seeped in through the cracks of the corners of your boat

We heard them yell

'Save me, save me.

'Save me, save me.

'I know, I know', as I dove in overboard

You screamed 'don't fall!'

But the rocks they crushed my skull

And the waves came crashing down against the hull

And seeped in through the cracks, of the corners of your boat

As the storm begins to lift, and we're sinking to the floor

The lighthouse sees a wreck upon the nearest shore

'Save me, save me.'

'Save me, save me.'
