The Lighthouse's Tale - Hit Crew Masters[00:00:00]
I am a lighthouse worn[00:00:27]
By the weather and the waves[00:00:31]
I keep my lamp lit to warn[00:00:35]
The sailors on their way[00:00:39]
I'll tell a story [00:00:44]
Paint you a picture from my past[00:00:47]
I was so happy[00:00:52]
But joy in this life seldom lasts[00:00:55]
I had a keeper [00:01:17]
He helped me warn the ships at sea[00:01:20]
We had grown closer[00:01:25]
Till his joy meant everything to me[00:01:28]
And he was to marry a girl[00:01:33]
Who shown with beauty and light[00:01:37]
They loved each other [00:01:42]
And with me watched the sunsets into nights[00:01:45]
And the waves crashing around me[00:01:50]
The sand slips out to sea[00:01:55]
And the winds that blow remind me[00:01:59]
Of what has been and what can never be[00:02:03]
She'd had to leave us;[00:02:28]
My keeper he prayed for a safe return[00:02:31]
But when the night came [00:02:36]
The weather to a raging storm had turned[00:02:39]
He watched her ship fight [00:02:44]
But in vain against the wild and terrible wind[00:02:47]
And me so helpless [00:02:53]
As dashed against the rocks she met her end[00:02:56]
And the waves crashing around me[00:03:01]
The sand slips out to sea[00:03:06]
And the winds that blow remind me[00:03:10]
Of what has been and what can never be[00:03:14]
Then on the next day [00:03:39]
My keeper found her washed up on the shore[00:03:42]
He kissed her cold face [00:03:47]
And that they'd be together soon he swore[00:03:50]
I saw him crying [00:03:56]
Watched as he buried her in the sand[00:03:59]
Then he climbed my tower [00:04:04]
And off the edge of me he ran[00:04:07]
And the waves crashing around me[00:04:12]
The sand slips out to sea[00:04:17]
And the winds that blow remind me[00:04:21]
Of what has been[00:04:25]
And what can never be[00:04:28]
I am a lighthouse worn[00:04:42]
By the weather and the waves[00:04:45]
And though I'm empty[00:04:50]
I still warn the sailors on their way[00:04:53]
