[ Featuring the Kingfishers ]
Love in the time of wide-open spaces
We cling to the coast
And make our home in rugged places
You had no choice but to move your family
To a cottage by the sea
Grey and blue
Violent and pure
Tides at war
You hold sure
And it's driving you insane
Staring at the waves
Waiting for a south-bound ship
To show its sails again
Not a single soul abides
In your house of light
Can you even tell if you're alive?
Where to two oceans collide
Poor lonely lighthouse man
Sitting up the top for days
They told you time again
To keep that fire ablaze
Then after Mary died
You plain forgot to eat
Just staring hard into the deep
Endless blaze
Spinning gaze
Shine your light
Pierce the night
And it's driving you insane
Staring at the waves
Waiting for a south-bound ship
To show its sails again
Not a single soul abides
In your house of light
Can you even tell if you're alive?
Where the two oceans collide
Was there an end, or did you slowly disappear?
Leaving the echo on the staircase that I hear
As your descendants tell the tale of your demise
You wander up and down and 'round it for all time
And it's driving you insane
Staring at the waves
Waiting for a south-bound ship
To show its sails again
Not a single soul abides
In your house of light
Can you even tell if you're alive?
Where the to two oceans collide
