Mirah - Lighthouse lyrics
[Mirah - Lighthouse lyrics]
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
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
