Introduction:
Em G D
I am a Lighthouse, Worn by the weather and the waves.
Em G D
I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way.

I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.
Em G D
I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.

Em G D
I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea.
Em G D
We had grown closer, 'til his joy meant everything to me.
Em G D
He was to marry a girl who shown with beauty and light.
Em G D
They loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into nights.
C Bm Bb C D
And the waves crashing around me, The sand slips out to sea,
C Bm Em F#m G
And the winds that blow remind me of what has been,
A D
and what can never be.
hook
D
Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore.
He kissed her cold face, and that they'd be together soon he swore.
D
I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand,
D
Then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran.
