LYRICS I will never leave the sea She's been good to me I've made a life here on this ledge In a lighthouse on the edge Toss my net out on a wave Reel in what Neptune gave Light a fire on the rocks Gather driftwood for the box I am a lighthouse keeper And I live alone I will walk these steps And work these hands to the bone Polishing the glass Polishing the glass Keep the brass bells shining bright Trim the wicks and oil the lights Warn the tall ships to steer clear If the storm clouds should appear I am a lighthouse keeper And I live alone I will walk these steps And work these hands to the bone Polishing the glass Polishing the glass I am rising with the tide I am going with the flow I am turning like a gear I could scream but no one would hear me I am a lighthouse keeper And I live alone I will walk these steps And work these hands to the bone Polishing the glass Polishing the glass Holly Hanson: vocals, Rhodes piano Steve Hayes: background vocals, acoustic guitar, Nashville-tuned guitar, xylophone Sven Larson: upright bass Zeke Martin: percussion © 2011 Wild Braid Music (BMI) Lighthouse Keeper appears on the album Strawberry Moon by Neptune's Car.
