And the rain came out at night
Couldn't sleep alright
Stubborn glow from your window
Won't stay out of sight
Took some Bulleit over ice
To help dull the beam, so bright
You keep wonderin' if you'll come home this time
She got up and turned the lights out
She don't wanna be your lighthouse
Servants heart and seekers mind
Attracted to shine
Tried to lure you close though it was dangerous
You knew you'd find me at home
It's broken now and overgrown
She held up the lens and called out again for more time
But
You got up and pulled the blinds down
Don't think you could be her lighthouse
Oh
He sang of peppermint patty and a little boy blue
Clock is stuck on nine and 12
Constrained to think about who we have become over the years
And what we've been up to
Couldn't have stayed another day?
Instead you left us up and dry with no navigation
No warnin'
No nothin'
No communication
Choppy waters, rocky reefs
Ignored all signs, abandoned station
No fight for more
Sailed light offshore
It took some time to feel alright
But we sleep at night
The abandonment quit lingerin'
We're fine
