lyrics

Lighthouse Keeper

I am a lighthouse keeper, I watch a barren sea
They say no man’s an island, no man, that is, save me
I am a lighthouse keeper, these tides are memories
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time.

I am a lighthouse keeper, I search for the mast
Of the boat that frees me, from the shadows of my past
I am a lighthouse keeper; each drink will be my last
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time.

Chorus
Drown, drown, oceans flood round
Won’t you tear this old lighthouse down
Drown, drown, oceans flood round
Won’t you tear this old lighthouse down.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Let the storm clouds gather, let the storm clouds blow
Blow out the light, from this worthless soul
Let the storm clouds gather, let the storm birds crow
Blow out the light, from this worthless soul.

Chorus

I am a lighthouse keeper, I guard a jagged shore
On whose rocks ex-lovers, will wreck their love no more
I am a lighthouse keeper, I scream as oceans roar:
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time
Rachel’s been gone a long, long time.
