The Lighthouse

I'll build a house- of water

I'm searching high- and low

Underneath the waves

Where they hit the rocky shore

Out by the lighthouse

Heard nature say

"I'm sorry-

For stones and trees down below

For those who tumble in God's name

To an early grave

Into the sea and foam

Like ships tossed in a storm"

And I'm standing all alone

Out by the lighthouse

I'll build a house- of paper

Covered with words I can read

She had to teach me what to say

And every year we stayed

Out by the lighthouse

I'll build a house- so level

With 7 walls- long and true

The day we raised that roof up high

Unto the fading light

We sang the whole night through

& no one needed proof

& I could see the moon

Out by the lighthouse
