The Lighthouse's Tale [In the Style of Nickel Creek [00:00:01]
I am a lighthouse [00:00:27]
Worn by the weather and the waves [00:00:30]
I keep my lamp lit [00:00:35]
To warn the sailors on their way [00:00:38]
I'll tell a story [00:00:43]
Paint you a picture from my past [00:00:46]
I was so happy [00:00:52]
Joy in this life seldom lasts [00:00:55]
I had a keeper [00:01:16]
He helped me warn the ships at sea [00:01:19]
We had grown closer [00:01:25]
'Till his joy meant everything to me [00:01:27]
He was to marry [00:01:33]
A girl who shone with beauty and light [00:01:36]
They loved each other [00:01:41]
And with me watched the sunsets into night [00:01:44]
And the waves crashing around me [00:01:49]
The sand slips out to sea [00:01:54]
And the winds that blow remind me [00:01:57]
Of what has been and what can never be [00:02:01]
She'd had to leave us [00:02:27]
My keeper he prayed for a safe return [00:02:29]
But when the night came [00:02:35]
The weather to a raging storm had turned [00:02:38]
He watched her ship fight [00:02:43]
But in vain against the wild and terrible wind [00:02:46]
In me so helpless [00:02:52]
As dashed against the rock she met her end [00:02:54]
And the waves crashing around me [00:03:00]
The sand slips out to sea [00:03:04]
And the winds that blow remind me [00:03:08]
Of what has been and what can never be [00:03:12]
Then on the next day [00:03:37]
My keeper found her washed up on the shore [00:03:40]
He kissed her cold face [00:03:45]
That they'd be together soon he'd swore [00:03:48]
I saw him crying watched[00:03:53]
As he buried her in the sand [00:03:57]
Then he climbed my tower [00:04:02]
Off of the edge of me he ran [00:04:05]
And the waves crashing around me [00:04:10]
The sand slips out to sea [00:04:15]
And the winds that blow remind me [00:04:18]
Of what has been [00:04:22]
And what can never be [00:04:26]
I am a lighthouse [00:04:39]
Worn by the weather and the waves [00:04:42]
And though I am empty [00:04:47]
I still warn the sailors on their way[00:04:50]
