Eric Andersen - Foghorn lyrics

[Verse 1] The harbor horn blows in the night mist Warning ships to keep their distance No ice or fog can freeze this bed of tears I know I ain't goin' anywhere My only mission is a prayer That every thought of you could disappear [Chorus] There's a foghorn blowing for the lost It could be singing just for us Lighthouse searches in the dark While seabells toll the deep They cannot warn or catch the tide that's taken you and me If I flew like a seagull I'd fly down like a thief If crime was light I'd k** the night And let the wave go free [Verse 2] I'm listening while the rain is falling Is there anybody calling An echo that the rain forgot to place Did I have something of your heart A shred time could not tear apart Time, that skinny thief without a face [Verse 3] I take a look inside the mirror I still can't recognize who's near Someone I'd remembered from the past Someone I left by the trail Looking for the Holy Grail I promised him one day I would come back [Chorus] There's a foghorn blowing for the lost It could be singing just for us Lighthouse searches in the dark While seabells toll the deep They cannot warn or catch the tide that's taken you and me If I flew like a seagull I'd fly down like a thief If crime was light I'd k** the night And let every wave go free [Verse 4] I see the light fall through the leaves It takes its leave of you and me Time takes all that we forget to keep The future keeps a grain of truth Scorns the past, the slaves of youth But the future cannot form one memory [Verse 5] I'm looking for my solitude Something good and make it new Something I have never tried before Show my fangs and face to you Open hearts and gratitude Turn the knob if someone's at the door [Chorus] There's a foghorn blowing for the lost It could be singing just for us Lighthouse searches in the dark While seabells toll the deep They cannot warn or catch the tide that's taken you and me If I flew like a seagull I'd fly down like a thief If crime was light I'd k** the night And let every wave go free Let it go, set it free Let it go, set it free Let it go....
