[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Outro]
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
