Lighthouse
You were the lighthouse guiding me
To the safe and sandy shore.
Through the tempest,
Through the rocks
To the refuge I searched for.
Before long,
I was your keeper,
Heaving sighs of relief
Like a creaky wooden door,
Satisfied with sleeping
On the safe and sandy shore.
Though now in storms
I'm trapped here,
Adrift in all you swore
That you would keep me safe from
Once on your sandy shore.
I am your keeper.
I am your keeper.
My ship sails nevermore.
Turbulent waters bind me here
Upon your sandy shore.
One would think I pray for a calm breeze
And following seas, therefore.
But I pray for strong and savage winds
To ravage us like war.
So lighthouse, sandy shore, and I
Lie on the ocean floor.
