歌曲名 The Lighthouse’s Tale

歌手名 Nickel Creek

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
