The Lighthouse Song

Lyrics

And I've been getting urges late at night
 To walk and walk for days and throughout lights
 Through people's houses, picking food from plates
 Through people's gardens, picking locks on gates
 So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
 While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
 And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
 I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
 ♪
 And I've been leaving gifts out in the woods
 That someone might stumble upon and wonder at their origins
 I've been feeling like a fox with sad old eyes
 Whose skulk has all moved on to leave the dark and empty den behind
 So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
 While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
 And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
 I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
 I'll anull these little walls of attrition and these invocations
 That's seen me holding my camera out at arms length
 To self-document these new locations
 When I should be leaning against you
 Deciding on things to get done
 And you should be leaning on fountains
 And filling my space up and breathing the air from my lungs
 
 Na na na na
 So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
 While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
 And we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
 Our beams will burn the clouds to beacons in the sky
 And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
 The wind...
 I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
