griffy jones & the phantom band - the lighthouse man lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
his bones are getting sore his
back is breaking fast

he’s getting older even worse he’s just not up for that
but the tides don’t care about him
so he gets up for work at

[verse 2]
6pm because the moon is so close with the tides
he mans a lighthouse he’s only ever working nights
he has no name except the lighthouse man
and that’s alright

[chorus]
it’s in the daytime that he’s sleeping
and he’s dreaming about windmills and kites

doing cartwheels
twirling dresses
in a vast grass fiеld
young and pretty
so detached
that its almost rеal

but oh echo well they only have nightmares
and so the windmill
is burning down oh
the windmill is burning down
[verse 3]
alarm alarm alarm
its 5:45 go to work

relieve his coworker do some brief manual labour
don’t expect examples i’m a storyteller not a mechanic

and though he’s dozing off
but everything’s alright
because lighthouses are mostly automatic

he doesn’t dream for long
but oh he’s sleeping right
yeah he’s dreaming
dreaming bout those windmills and kites

[chorus]
doing cartwheels twirling dresses
in a vast grass field
young and pretty
so detached
that it’s almost real
but well echo well they only have nightmares
and so the windmill is burning down
oh the windmill is burning down
[verse 4]
now there’s a call from a boat
called the santa maria
some tasteless f+cks
doing late+night fishing
the lighthouse man
he fl!cks his cigarette
and goes to guide them in

and he’s dozing off
his patience thin
he starts smelling smoke
now it’s hitting him
he’s an oracle
with some nearsighted vision

he wasn’t just dreaming
he was blurry predicting

[verse 5]
oh it wasn’t
the windmill that was burning down
it was the lighthouse burning down
it wasn’t a dress it was a funeral gown
it was the lighthouse burning down
oh the lighthouse is burning down
the windmills not burning down
the lighthouse is burning down
oh the lighthouse is burning down

the lighthouse, is burning down
oh the lighthouse is burning down
it wasn’t a dress it was a funeral gown
oh the lighthouse is burning down
