Patrick Wolf - To The Lighthouse Lyrics

The day our house collapsed
I went down stream
I followed the swans
Like I follow my dreams

Oh, I was living on borrowed time in a
Borrowed house for a borrowed crime
In need of help, I came to your door
Saw the spike of the railings from
The 23rd floor
Singing: "Build your castle, stop collecting stones
And the river bed shall not be your home”

To the lighthouse, my friend
I bless your words and education
To the lighthouse, my friend
Just go, just go!

To the lighthouse, my friend
I am sorry that you came to find
"Great, great minds
Against themselves conspire”

Now the bombs drop around our feet
Do we throw them back
Or bow and greet them?
Everyone now is so terrified
Of the glowing dark
And those orange skies.

Sing it:
"Build your castle, stop throwing stones
‘Cos those fire birds are
Coming down on our homes”

To the lighthouse, my friends
It cannot even be a question
To the lighthouse, my friends
We must go, we must go
