lyrics

Carmanah Lighthouse Keeper

I am the keeper of this place
I tell its story and I’ve seen its face
Track every seaborne vessel it has guided through this lonely sea
On whiskey-stained pages with no living souls intent to read
Squid ink and bioluminescent flashes
Breaching beasts interrupt the rhythmic crashes

CHORUS
All my life I’ve been living in this lighthouse
Each storms fury brings me so much glory
Waiting for that next shipment of
bottles to arrive with hawk-like eyes (2x)

Slow growth the ocean demands
Do you remember when you used to take my hand
We’d explore the dark and lonely caves long battered by the salty spray
Climb winding stairs dreaming of explorers come from far away
Until the spell faded and you felt an urge
To leave on that eternal misguided search

CHORUS

My blood is drained and this salt and malt is creeping in
Body’s crooked and fingers are bent
Think of leaving for the city where I can find a place to stay
In a room above an old bar and drink my last days away
But if you came looking for me
There’s only one place my son you’ve ever known me to be

So I’ll end my life here living in this lighthouse
With each storms fury I relive my glory days
Patiently waiting for the
wind to bring your voice ears like a spies (2x)
Bottles to arrive with hawk-like eyes
