Lyrics:
Since my father retired of old age
I kept things going
the way that he did before
He lost his mind
in the storm of '85
My mother denied
that he was a boozehound
She suffered as she found out
that he passed on to me
what drove him to madness
flickering light from the lighthouse
as the engine dies
I shield my eyes
against the snow
The boats are blind
No light to show
their way back home, the Captain sighs
A storm like this claims many lives
The cliffs are sharp
Someone must tend the lighthouse
Someone must tend the lighthouse
The power is out and I pour the diesel
A full tank will keep it running throughout the night
The damn thing won't start
Seems to be more than missing parts
that I failed to repair
Will there be knockings on my cabindoor
Widows in pain cursing my father's name
It ends tonight
Up the stairs and into the black
Surrounded by
the dark below
The boats are blind
No light to show
their way back home, the Captain sighs
A storm like this claims many lives
The cliffs are sharp
Someone must tend the lighthouse
Someone must tend the lighthouse
Someone must tend the lighthouse
Someone must tend the lighthouse
Someone must tend the lighthouse
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Someone must tend the lighthouse
