Heart Like a Lighthouse
There was a girl in my town
Lo' was she something to behold
How I wanted her heart
But I settled for a guitar and a song
Now there are things about our lives
Like what could have been we'll never know
My pain is the absence of joy that I've known
And it's what keeps me moving on
She spoke with lips of fire
Man, I just wrote poems
I lost a season in her bedroom
Found reason on her tongue
I can’t say I remember her
like she was
As much as I find romance in her mystery
I know that ain’t love
My friends say she went mad
that she died alone
Now I’m standing outside the walls
I should have rescued her from
Sometimes the dark man comes on
looking just like the sun
And he steals away all of the beauty and virtue
of the young, we don’t notice till it’s gone
Oh, your wake is cold that refuses the snow
Oh, I’ll cove you, I’ll cover you
Now, I gotta heart like a lighthouse and it shines through the storm for the crazy ones
Lo' was she something to behold
How I wanted her heart
But I settled for a guitar and a song
Now there are things about our lives
Like what could have been we'll never know
My pain is the absence of joy that I've known
And it's what keeps me moving on
She spoke with lips of fire
Man, I just wrote poems
I lost a season in her bedroom
Found reason on her tongue
I can’t say I remember her
like she was
As much as I find romance in her mystery
I know that ain’t love
My friends say she went mad
that she died alone
Now I’m standing outside the walls
I should have rescued her from
Sometimes the dark man comes on
looking just like the sun
And he steals away all of the beauty and virtue
of the young, we don’t notice till it’s gone
Oh, your wake is cold that refuses the snow
Oh, I’ll cove you, I’ll cover you
Now, I gotta heart like a lighthouse and it shines through the storm for the crazy ones
