When I was lost You stood there silent And kept the light on inside me And when I broke down And all the world turned to gray You told me time would be gentle And nobody knows your name Yeah, nobody knows your name To me you're a mountain Or some shining lighthouse that guided my way But nobody knows your name You held me up When I was drowning And wrapped me in your spare blankets And you held my head While I lay broken And told me I would sleep soundly And that life goes on And nobody knows your name Yeah, nobody knows your name To me you're a giant Or some distant lighthouse that guided my way But nobody knows Now that I'm gone And standing on my own two feet I still remember you fondly
