lyrics

I'm a shipwreck that's washed away by the sea
You were a lighthouse and you were there to guide me
and I've been drifting for the past twelve years I know not where go
The water is deep and dark these days and the current's a violent flow

I'm a shipwreck that's washed away with the tide
I was a grandson and you were my life
and since march 15th I guess I just haven't felt right
Your lighthouse closed for good and I lost my way by the coastline

Barb won't you sail on back to me
I was just a kid in the summer time
sitting and spitting seeds
when we would go out all my worries went away
but since your lighthouse has closed for good
I'm afraid I'll never be the same

So now I float on

The waves still crash inside my head
remind me of how it used to feel then
but I'll shrug it off I guess
cause I know those were better days

waves still crash inside my head
(I'm a shipwreck, I must be dead)
