Lyrics Patrick Wolf

Patrick Wolf

To the Lighthouse

The day our house collapsed

I went down stream

I followed the swans

Like I follow my dreams

Oh, I was living on borrowed time in a

Borrowed house for a borrowed crime

In need of help I came to your door

Saw the spike of the railings from the 28/3rd floor

Singing, "Build your castle, stop collecting stones

And the river bed shall not be your home"

To the lighthouse my friend

I bless your words and education

To the lighthouse my friend

Just go, just go

To the lighthouse my friend

I am sorry that you came to find

'Great great minds

Against themselves conspire'

Now the bombs drop around our feet

Do we throw them back or bow and greet them

Everyone now, is so terrified

Of the glowing dark and those orange skies

Sing it, 'Build your castle, stop throwing stones

'Cause those fire birds are coming down on our homes"

To the lighthouse my friends

It cannot even be a question

To the lighthouse my friends

We must go, we must go
