The Lighthouse Lyrics by Luke Ritchie

The Water’s Edge

0

Calling out
Over my home town
It draws them in, draws them in
The ones they never found
A lighthouse
Sleeps in fits
Watching all from sky to sea
And all the life that hangs between
Won’t you take me to the island
And the bay that I love
Take me deep into the weave and
Take me straight to the heart
Because I want to tell you there
I want to tell you myself
And you know I love you more
Than even life itself
But I’m holding something here –
And I fear for us both –
In the shape of a letter
That could tear us apart
And I need you here
I need you here now
And late at night
They wonder what they did
To see their boys grow up and run away
They’re watching with a gaze that never breaks
They miss the years that simply slip away
The lighthouse sees all this
Watching all from sky to sea
And all the life that hangs between
Won’t you take me to the island
And the bay that I love
Take me deep into the weave and
Take me straight to the heart
Because I want to tell you there
I want to tell you myself
And you know I love you more
Than even life itself
But I’m holding something here –
And I fear for us both –
In the shape of a letter
That could tear us apart
And I need you here, need you here
The light that cuts through everything
The light that always stays clean
The light that brings you back to me
