Lyrics

The Lighthouse

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This place is set to break

It's just as safe for me outside tonight

And I want that

I face the storm's apetite

From the lighthouse

And I want that

I embrace the storm and the night

Whole

What do the waves have to say now?

What do the waves have to say, now, now?

Slow now

I let the waves have their way

Now, now

Slow

I let the waves have their day

And I want that

Here I've been living, unloosened from sin

Upward and outward

Begin, begin

Here I've been loosened, unliving within

Inwardly urgent

I'm sinking again

The lighthouse
