A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers:(vii) (Custard's) Last Stand Lyrics

( Hammill )

Lighthouses might house the key

but can I reach the door?

I want to walk on the sea

so that I may better find a shore...

but how can I ever keep my feet dry?

I scan the horizon

I must keep my eyes on

all parts of me.

Looking back on the years

it seems that I have lost my way;

like a dog in the night, I have run to a manger;

now I am the stranger I stay in...ah, well.

All of the grief I have seen

leaves me chasing solitary peace

but I hold experience in my head

I'm too close to the light

I don't think I see right

for I blind me...
