Lighthouse - Patrick Watson

Caught up in the riptide Like a storm on a dark night, in so deep And it's pulling me from both sides It's hard to stay alright in this changing sea And I'm so full of rage Used to keep that fire to bed Now I don't know who I've become And another day breeds, tearing at the seams And I hope I don't come undone When the stars rise and fall And I can't find my way home Will you be my lighthouse? When I call out your name, show me the way Will you be my lighthouse? Will you shine out? Show me the way So far up a red light into the black sky Do you see me now? Do the echoes of my heart reach you where you are? Do you hear the sound? I still long to feel your touch You're the iron in my blood You know my love will never change And I lie up in my bed, fighting shadows in my head I pray you'll get to me someway When the stars rise and fall And I can't find my way home Will you be my lighthouse? When I call out your name, show me the way Will you be my lighthouse? Will you shine out? Show me the way Oh, lead me home Back to safer shores Oh, lead me home Back to where I belong Oh, lead me home Back into your arms Oh, lead me home, home And when the stars rise and fall And I can't find my way home When the sunrise won't come Will you be my lighthouse? When I call out your name, show me the way Will you be my lighthouse? Will you shine out? Show me the way

Tune my weaker eye, spit white Hold the world up all day She's blue in the face again Paracetamol Burn the darkness all away And drinking kitchen paint To dye the winter I hope we'll never see again Deaf and dumb with the lights on Deaf and dumb with the lights on Married by signs Married by signs, ah, ah Personal Holloway Six month linen It's safe to say we are alone Suburban suicide Watching night come amber It's all so temporary Deaf and dumb with the lights on Deaf and dumb with the lights on Deaf and dumb with the lights on Married by signs Married by signs Married by signs Move a little way forward Move a little way now Move a little way forward Move a little way now Bleed life breathe life Could be a better plan Could be a better plan Could be a better plan Could be a better plan Could be a better plan Could be a better plan

Woke up in Beijing With someone else's arms in me Through someone else's life That I'm not sure belongs to me It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments Through someone else's eyes Strangers, they don't look like mine Through someone else's words Just to take a break from mine It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments

Walk across and talk to me 'Cause it's late And it's midnight Know I need you now Just a little sound to keep me going It could be easy Oh, it could be easy Walk across and talk to me Little whispers Just a little sound Say what you're thinking Tell me where you're going 'Cause I need you now Well, it could be easy It could be easy But we keep on trying so hard But I don't even We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything But all I want to hear is you Walk across and talk to me Just a little whisper in my ear Tell me what you're thinking Thinking about It could be easy It could be easy We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything We keep on trying so hard But I don't hear anything And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you And all I want to hear is you What you saying What you doing Keep on talking Louder and louder What you saying Keep on talking Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder Keep on talking Louder and louder It could be easy

Drive, drive drive, drive You want to drive all night Follow the yellow lines Don't stop or look behind And you don't want to know where you're going Just want to get lost sometimes together Drive, drive drive, drive Get lost together Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Want to get lost? You don't want to know where you're going Stepping through a hallway of trees Getting lost to nowhere's good to me Wild eyes in the high high beams Staring back at me Into endless night Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me Wild eyes staring back at me

There was a time Where our years still just feel alive Then the world started to change And it never quite felt the same And the sky turned to fire And the people cried, oh why, oh why So they looked far and wide When the answer was in front of their eyes Little children started to cry, oh Screaming, Mama and Papa, oh why, oh why So they told them a lie Just to silence them Say goodnight And the people started to die He's singing, what a shame They've been waiting for the moment when they're finally dead Singing ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame Ooh, what a shame (Shame, shame, shame) Ooh, what a shame What a shame What a shame Ooh, what a shame What a shame We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill We built a shuttle Flew to a new world Just to start over Learn how to kill He's singing, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He cried, what a shame He cried, what a shame No, no, no, no, no, no He sang, what a shame
