"The Lighthouse Of Alexandria" lyrics
"The Lighthouse Of Alexandria"
To the lighthouse of Alexandria
To the faded library where I go
Whenever I am feeling beside myself
To the western wing
Where they keep everything
I've never read
To the giant blocks of limestone
Lying underwater now
And the coastline changes
As I turn the pages
And I'm in both places
Spanning ages
To the lighthouse of Alexandria
To the lonely tower where I've hidden
All the things I want to show
To everyone
To the broken entrance
Where I wanted you to follow me
To the nighttime harbour
After days of drifting on the sea
And the coastline changes
As I trade with traders
And I work for wages
Spanning ages
To the lighthouse of Alexandria
Call my mind back it's midnight now it's midnight
Call midnight back it's daylight now it's daylight
Come see me in the sunlight in the sunlight
I can't see you cause it's too bright now, it's too bright
Call my mind back it's midnight now it's midnight
Call midnight back it's daylight now it's daylight
Come see me in the sunlight in the sunlight
I can't see you cause it's too bright now, it's too bright

The key that I won't forget

In my clothes, in my mouth

Every time I wonder...
