To the Lighthouse Songtext
von Patrick Wolf

The day our house collapsed
I went downstream
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 28th third floor

Singing build your castle
Stop collecting stones
And the riverbed shall not be your home


To the lighthouse my friend
I guess your words as education
To the lighthouse my friend
Just go, just go
To the lighthouse my friend
I′m sorry that you came to find
Great great minds against themselves conspire
Conspire

Now the bombs drop around our feet
And do you throw them back
Or bow and greet them?
Everyone now is so terrified
Of the glowing dark
And those orange skies

Singing build your castle
Stop throwing stones
'Cause those firebirds are coming down on us

To the lighthouse my friend
It cannot even be a question
To the lighthouse my friend
We must go, we must go
To the lighthouse my friend
It cannot even be a question
To the lighthouse my friend
We must go, we must go
Great great minds against themselves conspire
