I Love the Lighthouse Keeper Lyrics by The Nocturnes

A Year of Spring

2009

I love the lighthouse keeper
\nHe was taken by the waves
\nI love the railroad ranger
\nHe was lost under the train, so
\nAll is lost
\nAll love is lost, and
\nAnd somehow this curse came down on my house to take you away
\nOh saint, oh saint, please saint
\nHis name I’ll whisper here
\nOh grave, oh grave, don’t take
\nStay shut for one more year
\n
\nMine is a gaze, is a way to heaven
\nSpeak to me in silent tongue
\nAll I want for you is heaven
\nYou, my last, my shining one
\n
\nI love the fireman
\nHe was lost into the flames
\nI love the lion tamer
\nBut I left him in his cage, oh
\nAll is lost
\nAll love, love is lost
\nAnd somehow this curse came down
\nOn my house to take you away
\nOh saint, oh saint, please saint
\nHis name I’ll whisper here
\nOh grave, oh grave, don’t take
\nStay shut for one more year
\n
\nMine is a gaze, a way to heaven
\nSpeak to me in silent tongue
\nAll I want for you is heaven
\nYou, my last shining one, oh
\n
\nAh ah ah
\nAh ah ah
\nAh ah
\nAh ah ah
\nAh ah
\n
\nMine is a gaze, a way to heaven
\nSpeak to me in silent tongue
\nAll I want for you is heaven
\nOh you, my last, my shining one\n\n
