about

One of the tracks the band loved from the recording sessions, but just didn't finish in time. Taken from the bonus EP Miss You More, this one is based on a ghost story James came up with while running by the sea.

lyrics

Lighthouse

Atop the old lighthouse
The lamps no longer shine
The only light a sailor sees
On foggy nights is mine
The last five men that left here
Those brothers I admired
Went off to join the navy
When our dear old ma expired

So I drink to my brothers
Raise a glass and cheer
I drink to their memory
Though I have no body here

I light a candle every night and call your name
I stare out to the sea each night and call you home

And so my brothers left me
Too small to reach the light
Their gunship never stood a chance as it was
Hurled into the night
The boat went down all hands on deck
Or so the locals say
And left alone and cupboard bare, well I soon
Followed the same way
So drink to my brothers
Raise your glass and cheer
Drink to our memory though there’s
Still no body here

I light a candle every night and call your name
I stare out to the sea each night and do the same
I light a candle every night and call your name
I stare out to the sea each night and call you home
