I Love the Lighthouse Keeper
I love the lighthouse keeper
He was taken by the waves
I love the railroad ranger
He was lost under the train, so
All is lost
All love is lost, and
And somehow this curse came down on my house to take you away
Oh saint, oh saint, please saint
His name I’ll whisper here
Oh grave, oh grave, don’t take
Stay shut for one more year
Mine is a gaze, is a way to heaven
Speak to me in silent tongue
All I want for you is heaven
You, my last, my shining one
I love the fireman
He was lost into the flames
I love the lion tamer
But I left him in his cage, oh
All is lost
All love, love is lost
And somehow this curse came down
On my house to take you away
Oh saint, oh saint, please saint
His name I’ll whisper here
Oh grave, oh grave, don’t take
Stay shut for one more year
Mine is a gaze, a way to heaven
Speak to me in silent tongue
All I want for you is heaven
You, my last shining one, oh
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah
Mine is a gaze, a way to heaven
Speak to me in silent tongue
All I want for you is heaven
Oh you, my last, my shining one
