The Lighthouse

God forgive you, you're alone again and no one knows a thing Not as pretty, not as powerful as you would like to think Not as bright and sweet as standing on the brink You long for someone who could tug just like a child at your sleeve, singing Take me with you Barefoot and forgiven in the heat Take me with you Take what's left of all that might have been God forgive you, see the darkened lighthouse rising from the earth There's no glory, there's no glow when you receive your just desserts There's no comfort, there's no bleeding heart concern (I burst from the sea I burst from the sea Alone, all alone do I leave) So rest a while, for blame's a moonlit thing, it simply begs for sleep (Beacon, in my memory a scared creature sleeps Wrapped up in sheets Begs me to stay in the breeze) Singing Take me with you Barefoot and forgiven in the heat Take me with you Take what's left of all that might have been I'm nothing like you And everything is as it ought to be (Run, run like you remember Run like you believe)
