Luke Ritchie The Lighthouse lyrics

Calling out
over my home town,
it draws them in, draws them in,
the ones they never found.
A lighthouse
sleeps in fits,
watching all from sky to sea,
and all the life that hangs between.

Won't you take me to the island
and the bay that I love,
take me deep into the weave and
take me straight to the heart.
Because I want to tell you there,
I want to tell you myself,
and you know I love you more
than even life itself.
But I'm holding something here –
and I fear for us both –
in the shape of a letter
that could tear us apart,
and I need you here
I need you here now.

And late at night
they wonder what they did
to see their boys grow up and run away.

They're watching with a gaze that never breaks.
They miss the years that simply slip away.
The lighthouse sees all this,
watching all from sky to sea,
and all the life that hangs between.

Won't you take me to the island
and the bay that I love,
take me deep into the weave and
take me straight to the heart.
Because I want to tell you there,
I want to tell you myself,
and you know I love you more
than even life itself.
But I'm holding something here –
and I fear for us both –
in the shape of a letter
that could tear us apart,
and I need you here, need you here.

The light that cuts through everything,
the light that always stays clean,
the light that brings you back to me.
