《The Lighthouse’s Tale》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lighthouse's Tale - Nickel Creek

[00:00:26] I am a lighthouse

[00:00:29] Worn by the weather and the waves

[00:00:34] I keep my lamp lit

[00:00:37] To warn the sailors on their way

[00:00:42] I'll tell a story

[00:00:46] Paint you a picture from my past

[00:00:51] I was so happy

[00:00:54] But joy in this life seldom lasts

[00:01:16] I had a keeper

[00:01:19] He helped me warn the ships at sea

[00:01:24] We had grown closer

[00:01:27] 'Til his joy meant everything to me

[00:01:32] He was to marry

[00:01:35] A girl who shone with beauty and light

[00:01:40] They loved each other

[00:01:43] And with me

[00:01:44] Watched the sunsets into nights

[00:01:49] And the waves crash around me

[00:01:53] The sand slips out to sea

[00:01:57] And the winds that blow remind me

[00:02:01] Of what has been

[00:02:05] And what can never be

[00:02:26] She'd had to leave us

[00:02:29] My keeper

[00:02:30] He prayed for a safe return

[00:02:34] But when the night came

[00:02:37] The weather to a

[00:02:39] Raging storm had turned

[00:02:42] He watched her ship fight

[00:02:45] But in vain against

[00:02:47] The wild and terrible wind

[00:02:51] In me so helpless

[00:02:54] As dashed against the

[00:02:55] Rocks she met her end

[00:02:59] And the waves crash around me

[00:03:04] The sand slips out to sea

[00:03:08] And the winds that blow remind me

[00:03:11] Of what has been

[00:03:15] And what can never be

[00:03:37] Then on the next day

[00:03:40] My keeper found her

[00:03:41] Washed up on the shore

[00:03:44] He kissed her cold face

[00:03:48] And that they'd be together

[00:03:49] Soon he swore

[00:03:53] I saw him crying

[00:03:56] Watched as he buried in the sand

[00:04:01] Then he climbed my tower

[00:04:04] And off the edge of me he ran

[00:04:09] And the waves crash around me

[00:04:14] The sand slips out to sea

[00:04:18] And the winds that blow remind me

[00:04:22] Of what has been

[00:04:25] And what can never be

[00:04:39] I am a lighthouse

[00:04:42] Worn by the weather and the waves

[00:04:47] And though I'm empty

[00:04:50] I still warn the sailors on their way
