lyrics

Lace up my boots, turn out my collar
Straighten out my trembling bones
This time tomorrow I'll have spent my last dollar
And acted like I don't know where it goes

I'm the sinking ship, I'm the bell-ringer ringing
The lovesick sailor drifting on the tide
I'm the lantern glass, I'm the old captain singing
The walleyed pike, the full moon in my eye

And if you see the lighthouse keeper
Tell her I'm looking for the light
You'll know her when you see her
She's always shining out so bright

And if you see the lighthouse keeper
Tell her I'm looking for the light
You'll know her when you see her
She's always shining out so bright
