The Orfordness Lighthouse is Falling Into the Sea Blues

from Sing Your Life EP by Rev Simpkins

/

lyrics

The sea rolls up, the waves crash down
And leave you sobbing with the lighthouse blues
They’ll eat your spit, they’ll take your town
And leave you sobbing with the lighthouse blues

Here come the swash, there go backwash
I hear you sobbing with the lighthouse blues
To lick your bricks, red paint, whitewash
I hear you sobbing with the lighthouse blues

Remember when you flashed your warnings?
And with your honky horn blew through those mists?
But now your fate is slowly dawning
You’ve caught that long-shore drift, now
Uh oh!

Lantern come, and lantern go
There’s no use sobbing with the lighthouse blues
Gone with my right-side middle toe
There’s no use sobbing with those lighthouse blues

Remember when you flashed your warnings?
And with your honky horn blew through those mists?
But now your fate is slowly dawning
You’ve caught that long-shore drift, now
Uh oh!

Notorious sinner-songwriter, folk symphonist & Anglican priest.

He comes from a long line of priests whose fiery performances characterise his own style. ... more
