Antje Duvekot - Lighthouse lyrics

You, you're not the first to ask And probably not the last And i don't expect you to understand Why i stayed upon this rock After the birds had gone And all of the waves turned to sand I am a lighthouse In a desert and i stand alone I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago And i remember his cool waters and i still glow These days, the sunlight has bleached my paint And the moonlight has made it plain That nobody needs me to call them home But i swear there was a time when i Would shine for him through the night And he was the only ocean that i have known I am a lighthouse In a desert and i stand alone I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago And i remember his cool waters and i still glow Now my lantern bears a crack And i know he will not be back But i will leave the light on forever I am a lighthouse In a desert and i stand alone I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago And i remember his cool waters and i still glow
