Lighthouse Songtext
von Sonya Kitchell

It comes in
Like the wind
Through a door
That I never meant to open up
And leaves me stranded
Right here, where I stand
A distant land,
I′m lost again.

It comes in
While I move.
Like a hurricane
It swallows me too soon
And leaves me breathless
Gasping for some air
When nothing's there,
Nothing′s there.


I need a lighthouse to guide me home
Need a sailor's son with knives of bone
To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn
And spreads like wild fire, across the land.

It comes in
While I sleep
Kisses my toes
With lips that freeze my feet
And leaves me shivering
Lying in the cold
No warmth to hold
No warmth to hold.

I need a lighthouse to brave this storm
Need a sailor′s arms to keep me warm
An embrace that′s patiently born
From the raging sea, that crashes 'round me.

I need a lighthouse to guide me home
Need a sailor′s son with knives of bone
To cut from this heart where sorrow's sewn
And spreads like wild fire, across the land.
