Lighthouse

And your baby's hanging on looking at pictures on the phone You're back at home while I've gone away We thought it wouldn't feel long because aren't we so independent But the wind out here is strong it Blew right through those confidences And the sky's been coming down as if the green could get more green As if the poppies had just thirst and thought the sun was just a dream The water on the road looks like a river lost control Spilling at the seams and soaking through my jeans And I run up to the hill, run right through the battery The military men have gone and left this all to me Listen the wind is making songs up in the trees all the day long They're singing more than me, they're making their own reveille I want the lighthouse to be on When the evening's coming on 'Cause when the lighthouse isn't on The night can feel so long Turn on the lighthouse, turn it on So the nights don't feel so long I'm just out here watching clouds I could be famous for doing this Just thinking thoughts there's nothing to it And in the days I make it right I've got my work to do I can clean up the windows and serenade the view But when the sky gets darkened down I just want to be known by you In our lighthouse I can feel you feel it too I want the lighthouse to be on When the evening's coming on 'Cause when the lighthouse isn't on The night can feel so long Turn on the lighthouse turn it on Put the million candles on I want the lighthouse to be on When the evening's coming on 'Cause when the lighthouse isn't on The night can feel so long Turn on the lighthouse turn it on Put the million candles on
