	作词 : McKenzie, Thile
	I am a lighthouse
	Worn by the weather and the waves
	I keep my lamp lit
	To warn the sailors on their way
	I'll tell a story
	Paint you a picture from my past
	I was so happy
	But joy in this life seldom lasts
	I had a keeper
	He helped me warn the ships at sea
	We had grown closer
	'Til his joy meant everything to me
	He was to marry
	A girl who shone with beauty and light
	They loved each other
	And with me watched the sunsets into nights
	And the waves crash around me,
	The sand slips out to sea,
	And the winds that blow remind me
	Of what has been, and what can never be
	She'd had to leave us
	My keeper, he prayed for a safe return
	But when the night came
	The weather to a raging storm had turned
	He watched her ship fight
	But in vain against the wild and terrible wind
	In me so helpless
	As dashed against the rocks she met her end
	And the waves crash around me,
	The sand slips out to sea,
	And the winds that blow remind me
	Of what has been, and what can never be
	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 I saw him crying
	Watched as he buried in the sand
	Then he climbed my tower
	And off the edge of me he ran
	And the waves crash around me,
	The sand slips out to sea,
	And the winds that blow remind me
	Of what has been, and what can never be
	I am a lighthouse
	Worn by the weather and the waves
	And though I'm empty
	I still warn the sailors on their way
