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 wanna show To everyone
To the broken entrance where I wanted you to follow me To the night-time 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 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 Can't see you, 'cause it's too bright, now, it's too bright
