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
