She went out
And foundHer father face down on the ground
Out in the cold
Walked her way 'round
A hill where the sun's sinking down
Into the snow
Oh, white caps of the waves slap
Like last hand claps
And the dark
Water dies in the crash[And] is sucked back with a moan
Smoke on the coast
And old, piled fathers
Soft-sighing daughters
Where does it go
It's a dream now
I'll describe
Let your mind drift on down
Like soTo when the world was young
Big skyBlue with a dead
Bachelor's tongue
Blood-red bloom on the rose
So, some line someone told
Says, "Even light can get old"
Oh, slobbering lovers
Drink-clinking brothers
They don't have to tell us'
Cause we know
So, I said"What a way downWhat a rideWhat a slideSpin aroundWhat a life to have knownWhat a time"
And howI was singing out in a crowd
Of a thousand of the most frightening faces 
I've known
When the lighthouse
Lending a sight, finally went out
What a fright we felt in that night
Friends, just shout it all out
All the 'why's and 'no-no's
All the cries in your throat
How rightWe felt
With our hands tightly closed
Around something we broke
And then our whimpering sisters
Sobbing well-wishers
Well, it's over
Just let my hand go
