Lighthouse Song - Josh Pyke
Tuning: , E A D G B E
[Verse]
And I've been
getting urges
late at night
To walk and wa
lk for days an
d throughout l
ights
Through people
's houses, pic
king food from
plates
Through people
's gardens, pi
cking locks on
gates
[Chorus]
So we are movi
ng to a lighth
ouse, you and
I
While seas dro
wn sailors, we
'll be locked
up safe and dr
y
And though our
doors may kno
ck and rattle
in the wind
I'll just hold
you tight and
we'll not let
those fuckers
in
[Verse]
And I've been
leaving gifts
out in the woo
ds
That someone m
ight stumble u
pon and wonder
at their orig
ins
I've been feel
ing like a fox
with sad old
eyes
The skulkers a
ll moved on to
leave the dar
k and empty de
n behind
[Chorus]
So we are movi
ng to a lighth
ouse, you and
I
While seas dro
wn sailors, we
'll be locked
up safe and dr
y
And though our
doors may kno
ck and rattle
in the wind
I'll just hold
you tight and
we'll not let
those fuckers
in
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll anull the
se little wall
s of attrition
and these inv
ocations
That's seen me
holding my ca
mera out at ar
ms length
To self-docume
nt these new l
ocations
When I should
be leaning aga
inst you
Deciding on th
ings to get do
ne
And you should
be leaning on
fountains
And filling my
space up and
breathing the
air from my lu
ngs
Na na na na
[Outro]
So we are movi
ng to a lighth
ouse, you and
I
While seas dro
wn sailors, we
'll be locked
up safe and dr
y
And we are mov
ing to a light
house, you and
I
Our beams will
burn the clou
ds to beacons
in the sky
And though our
doors may kno
ck and rattle
in the wind
The wind...
I'll just hold
you tight and
we'll not let
those fuckers
in
