Lighthouse's Tale

I am a light house
Worn by the weather and the waves
I keep my lamp lit
to warn the saliors on their way
I'll tell the story
Paint you a picture from my past
I was so happy
But joy in this life seldom lasts
I had a keeper
He helped me warn the ships at sea
We had grown closer
Till his joy mean't everything to me
And he was to marry
A girl who shone with beauty and light
And they loved eachother
And with me watch the sunsets into night
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been
And what can never be
She had to leave us
My Keeper, he prayed for a safe return
But when the night came
The weather to a raging storm had turned
He watched her ship fight
But in vein against the wild and terrible wave
In me so helpless
As dashed against the rock she met her end.
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been
And what can never be
Then on the next day
My Keeper found her washed up on the shore
He kissed her cold face
That they would be together soon He'd swore
I saw him crying
Watched as he buried her in the sand
And then he climbed my tower
And off the edge of me he ran
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been
And what can never be
I am a lighthouse
Worn by the weather and the waves
And though I am empty
I still warn the saliors on their way
