The Lighthouse Lyrics


VERSE 1

She stands and wrings her once young hands

Her mind since gone to other lands

Her eyes just pale reflections of the sea

Beyond those lifeless orbs of white

a vacancy as dark as night

The only gleam of light, a memory

CHORUS 1

"Wait for me"

is all that she

remembers

since the day he went away

VERSE 2

Indifferent years leave her behind

While the light in her eyes hopes to find

his silhouette appear beyond the shore

She stands transfixed by ocean's throe

while the tide and ripple's all who know

that she will wait for him forever more

CHORUS 2

"Wait for me"

is all that she

remembers

since the day he went away

BRIDGE

Closure

One life to end another

To never say goodbye

Never grasping why

To think you'll have a chance

to speak your final words

All just torn away

unspoken, they will stay

CODA

Grass found life within the earth where she once stood her ground

The only life now resting there, her body was not found

Another song for Abigail, who lost her love at sea

and thusly hoped to join him there, wherever he may be.
