What are the lyrics to Nickel Creek's 'I am a Lighthouse'? And what about lyrics to 'Sabra Girl'?I am a lighthouse
I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves
I keep my lamp lit to warn the sailors on their way
I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past
I was so happy but joy in this life seldom lasts
I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea
We had grown closer 'til his joy meant everything to me
And he was to marry a girl who shown with beauty and light
They loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into nights
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been and what can never be
She'd had to leave us; my keeper, he prayed for a safe return
But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned
He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wind
And me so helpless, as dashed against the rocks she met her end
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been and what can never be
Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore
He kissed her cold face, and that they'd be together soon he swore
I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand
Then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran
And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been and what can never be
I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves
And though I'm empty I still warn the sailors on their way
Sabra girl
Lonely, the life that I once led
Strange, the paths on which we tread
Led me to you, unlikely but true
Sabra girl, clouding my view
Rainy the day, the first time we met
Deep was the talk, forever my debt
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone
Early the morning and sad the goodbye
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye
So lately did meet, no sooner to part
Sabra girl, homeward must start
Rosey the lines you wrote with your hand
Reading between them, to misunderstand
I made the mistake you said not to make
Yes, reading your letters, conviction did grow
I thought it a chance; I knew I must go
It's hard to believe I could be so naive
Sabra girl, flattered but deceived
Now you just told me that friendship is all
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall
Illusions and dreams, as usual, it seems
Sabra girl, they've been my downfall
Lonely, the life and dismal the view
Closed is the road that leads to you
Since better can be, as friends we'll agree
Sabra girl, time will cure me ^ He's got it. Gosh, I haven't seen any questions about NC in forever. I love their music. |
