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 could read She had to teach me what to say But 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 And I could see the moon Out by the lighthouse Aus Songtexte Mania
