Our Pasts, Like Lighthouses Songtext

And bless all the things that we can't undo

'cause you know that they have brought me here, you



And I have wronged you once, but not again

I have wronged you twice, my lover friend

I have wronged you without any end

and I'd do it all to be here again



And tonight we'll breathe the salt and spray

as we live to see another day
This is all I ask for when I pray

as we go on our merry way



We are both of us a mighty bore

against all currents at the fore

And now we will hear nevermore

the pride in our once-feeble roar



And tonight we'll breathe the salt and spray

as we live to see another day

This is all I ask for when I pray

as we go on our merry way



And tonight, tonight a sailor is born

with snow in his eyes and slack in his jaw

and there are too many lights and not enough loss

to make effect worth less than the cost
