My Lighthouse

You are needing a friend

For to follow, for to fend

And I haven't got a clue

If getting I'm through to you

My lighthouse

.

In the violent moonlight

I am searching the tide

In a vessel, in the storm

And you're the kind host, in the port

My lighthouse

.

And we'll be there to right our wrongs

In the time it took to write this song

And we'll beat the ghost with our bare hands

And we'll skin the corpse and we'll love and laugh

And we'll dance all everlasting day

And you'll sing to me everything I meant to say

And we'll drink to the gentle, and meek and the kind

And the funny little flaws in this earthly design

From the Reeperbahn to the Sundarban

I will heed your call from the dust and the sand

And I'll save all my stories for thee
