The Lighthouse

I'll build a house of water

I'm searching high and low

Underneath the waves

Where they hit the rocky shore

Out by the lighthouse

Heard nature say

"I'm sorry

For stones and trees down below

For those who tumble in God's name

To an early grave

Into the sea and foam

Like ships tossed in a storm"

And I'm standing all alone

Out by the lighthouse

I'll build a house of paper

Covered with words I can read

She had to teach me what to say

And every year we stayed

Out by the lighthouse

I'll build a house so level

With 7 walls long and true

The day we raised that roof up high

Unto the fading light

We sang the whole night through

& no one needed proof

& I could see the moon

Out by the lighthouse
