Song Duties of a Lighthouse Keeper
Artist Human Highway
Album Moody Motorcycle

Lyrics

作曲 : Guthrie, Thorburn
There was a storm last night
It blew away wrong and right
Watching the waves crash down
Until my velvet had drowned
Now all our words, like boats
Either they sink or float
Are they designed like that?
Can't they come back?
Last night I was a lighthouse
Only needing to keep you there
Like a lonesome shadow searching
Like a sea fog in the air
I'll keep you there
Called on my radio, frequency dipped below
Audible levels, so I sat in my wet clothes
Keeping the wicks trimmed and lit after the storm had hit
I turned on my light but it couldn't find you
Last night I was a lighthouse
Only needing to keep you there
Like a lonesome shadow searching
Like a sea fog in the air
I'll keep you there

Last night I was a lighthouse
Only needing to keep you there
Like a lonesome shadow searching
Like a sea fog in the air
I' ll keep you there
Called on my radio, frequency dipped below
Audible levels, so I sat in my wet clothes
Keeping the wicks trimmed and lit after the storm had hit
I turned on my light but it couldn' t find you
Last night I was a lighthouse
Only needing to keep you there
