"Lighthouse" lyrics - ADRIANNE LENKER

ADRIANNE LENKER
"Lighthouse"

Well, I left here in my sleep when I was dreaming
Miles and miles away into a place
My heart was scheming an escape that love drew from me
And I met you on the corner of the seasons
Out of winter's reach and into summer's early sun
You were the moon and I was only seventeen

And I'm making all these things
And constructing all these scenes
And I'm stitching up the seams
Of the fabric of my dreams
And I'm here in my boat
And I'm roaring up to shore as you sing

Well I'm ringing all the bells from my lighthouse, dear
Time is just an ocean and you're almost here
One for the mind, two for the soul
Three for the body and the heart that knows
That knows I'll never ever let you go

Oh silence, the silence a-ringing your bells
Singing the words in a whisper
Dispel all this noise, bring back the joy
Ring the world awake

'Cause if the only hole that we have is your world apart
And it's separate and broken and stained from the start
My heart will remain and take it anyway

Well, I'm ringing all the bells from my lighthouse, dear
Time is just an ocean and you're almost here
One for the mind, two for the soul
Three for the body and the heart that knows
That knows I'll never ever let you go

I'm ringing all the bells from my lighthouse, dear
Time is just an ocean and you're almost here
One for the mind, two for the soul
Three for the body and the heart that knows
That knows I'll never ever let you go
