Karaoke Track: Lighthouse's Tale by Nickel Creek (Priddis)

. . . I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather

and the waves

I keep my lamp lit

To warn the sailors
on their way

I&#39;ll tell a story

Paint you a picture

from my past

I was so happy

but joy in this

life seldom lasts

(8 Bar Instrumental Break)

. . . I had a keeper
He helped me warn

the ships at sea

We had grown closer

&#39;Till his joy meant

everything to me

And he was to marry

A girl who shone

with beauty and light
And they loved each other
And with me watched

the sunsets into night

And the waves

crashing around me

The sand slips out to sea

And the winds that

And what can never be

(8 Bar Instrumental Break)

. . . She 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 wave

In me so helpless

As dashed against the

rock she met her end

And the waves

crashing around me

the sand slips out to sea

And the winds that

And what can never be

(8 Bar Instrumental Break)

. . . Then on the next day

My keeper found her
washed up on the shore

He kissed her cold face

That they&#39;d be together

soon he swore

I saw him crying

Watched as he buried

her in the sand
And then he

climbed my tower

And off the edge

of me he ran
And the waves

crashing 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 am empty

I still warn the sailors

on their way
