Lighthouse

Leave a lighthouse in the wild,
Cause I'm coming in
A little blind
Dreamer of a lighthouse in the woods
Shining a little light to bring us back home

When to find you in the backyard,
Hiding behind all, all busy lives
Dreaming of a light house in the woods
To help us get back into the world

Cause I know
I've seen you before
Won't you shine
A little light
On us now

Won't you shine a little light
In your own backyard
Won't you shine a little light
In your own backyard

Dreaming of a lighthouse in the woods
Dreaming of a lighthouse in the woods

Like A Broken Record

Not that I had that much dignity left anyway
Nor could I feign great surprise when she finally walked away

Yesterday’s lover will fall for another
and I wont stand in her way

But we already sang that song
and she’s already gone, gone, gone
and you’re starting to sound like a broken record

By the time we were done driving across Texas I was feeling kind of small
Yes, we’d stopped for some food when she picked up the dude from the rodeo

Ahoy California! We’re coming to join you
To pump that gasoline

But we already sang that song
and she’s already long gone, gone, gone
and we’re starting to soud like a broken record

Broken promises
Broken dreams
Broken marriages
Broken rings

Somewhere along the line I left the straight
For the arc of least resistance
And I‘m starting to sound like a broken record

Third verse the same as
The first verse the same on
The arc of least resistance
And I‘ve started to sound like a broken record

Not that I had that much dignity left anyway

(Lloyd Cole)

Lazuli

In the blue of this life
Where it ends in the light
When you couldn't see
You would come for me

Wonder eyes motion high
When we don't dare slip on by
Make us suffer
Like no other

There's nothing like Lapis lazuli
Let it go back to me

Like no other, you can't be replaced
Like no other, you can't be replaced
Like no other, you can't be replaced
Like no other, you can't be replaced

Like no other, you can't be replaced
Like no other, you can't be replaced
Like no other, you can't be replaced
Like no other, you can't be replaced

There's nothing like Lapis lazuli
Like no other, you can't be replaced
There's nothing like Lapis lazuli
Like no other, you can't be replaced

There's nothing like Lapis lazuli
Like no other, you can't be replaced
There's nothing like Lapis lazuli
Like no other, you can't be replaced

The Sea Is Calling

At night
When it’s quiet
And the waves come rolling in
The merchant ships light
Paints the dark
As we sing hymns

To one who is great
Whom by words cannot be seen
When all left is love
There will be no in between

Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world

A distance
From grace
We shall toil
With our days
And take home the dirt
That has rendered us as slaves
Our mothers will cry
Is there something in the sky
We know we are present here
Though may never know why

Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world

Tucked in the corner of earth
Placed on the wayside at birth
Found on the open road
Making our way back home
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into the world
