The Lighthouse

I'll build a house of water
 I'm searching high and low
 Underneath the waves
 Where they hit the rocky shore
 Out by the lighthouse
 Heard nature say, "I'm sorry
 For stones and trees down below
 For those who tumble in God's name
 To an early grave, into the sea and foam
 Like ships tossed in a storm"
 And I'm standing all alone
 Out by the lighthouse
 I'll build a house of paper
 Covered with words I could read
 She had to teach me what to say
 But every year we stayed
 Out by the lighthouse
 I'll build a house so level
 With 7 walls, long and true
 The day we raised that roof up high
 Unto the fading light
 We sang the whole night through
 No one needed proof
 And I could see the moon
 Out by the lighthouse
