Lyrics:

You, you're not the first to ask
And probably not the last
And i don't expect you to understand

Why i stayed upon this rock
After the birds had gone
And all of the waves turned to sand

I am a lighthouse
In a desert and i stand alone
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago
And i remember his cool waters and i still glow

These days, the sunlight has bleached my paint
And the moonlight has made it plain
That nobody needs me to call them home
But i swear there was a time when i
Would shine for him through the night
And he was the only ocean that i have known

I am a lighthouse
In a desert and i stand alone
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago
And i remember his cool waters and i still glow

Now my lantern bears a crack
And i know he will not be back
But i will leave the light on forever

I am a lighthouse
In a desert and i stand alone
I dream of an ocean that was here a long time ago
And i remember his cool waters and i still glow
