lyrics

The lighthouse, you came with me
To feel the breeze and touch the sea
And from your eyes to the words I hold
When you said you want to watch me grow old.

I am breathless on the cove
Your face a song the Gods composed
In a fading sky, one day we will die
I will listen until the blue leaves our eyes.

When we’re old and by the fire
Together once again
A history of tender years
Held in wrinkled hands
And the sun will ignite
And the moon will cool the night
When our grave is a crashing wave
We’ll leave behind new life.

We set sail on a crowd of stars
A ship made from wooden guitars
A vessel we ride through the rising tide
With the ghosts of the seas silent years.
Oh, my heart was slow to learn
But every turn assures my fate
The lighthouse shines, a thick white line
As I marvel at the change in your face.

My one, my only one
A time when we’re old
