The Lighthouse’s Tale LRC歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Unknown

[00:25.68]I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.

[00:33.33]I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way.

[00:41.95]I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.

[00:50.18]I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.

[00:58.04]

[01:15.50]I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea.

[01:22.89]We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me.

[01:31.11]And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light.

[01:39.13]And they loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into night.

[01:48.52]And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to the sea.

[01:56.93]And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be.

[02:08.28]

[02:25.79]She had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return.

[02:32.62]But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned.

[02:42.21]He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wind

[02:50.91]In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end.

[02:59.37]And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea

[03:07.73]And the wind that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be

[03:19.00]

[03:36.94]Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore

[03:44.05]He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore

[03:53.45]I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand

[04:00.73]And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran

[04:09.57]And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out of sea

[04:17.76]And the wind that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be

[04:30.60]

[04:37.92]I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves

[04:46.45]And though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.
