You are needing a friend For to follow, for to fend And I haven't got a clue If I'm getting through to you My lighthouse In the violent moonlight I am searching the tide In a vessel, in the storm And you're the kind host, in the port My lighthouse And we'll be there to right our wrongs In the time it took to write this song And we'll beat the ghost with our bare hands And we'll skin the corpse and we'll love and laugh And we'll dance all everlasting day And you'll sing to me everything I meant to say And we'll drink to the gentle, the meek and the kind And the funny little flaws in this earthly design From the Reeperbahn to the Sundarban I will heed your call from the dust and sand And I'll save all my stories for thee
