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'e 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
