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
