To The Lighthouse Lyrics

Word came from the lighthouse, now all has been revealed.

A stitch in time might have saved the day, and banished all those fears.

How was I to know, how was I to know it would lead to this?

How was I to know, how was I to know it would lead to this?

The deep, dark abyss.

A shopping list by the kitchen table, eggs, butter, some tea

A letter buried in the third draw down, in a voice that was just for me.

How was I to know, how was I to know it would lead to this?

How was I to know, how was I to know it would lead to this?

The deep, dark abyss.

Halcyon days, lifting and teasing through prose.

Then the Devil comes out to play; why? Nobody knows, nobody knows.

Society's child needs to know how to play by the rules,

And with a stroke of her pen, she's shown us she's nobody's fool, nobody's fool, she's nobody's fool.

A discarded hat and a cane, left lonely by the shore

The perfection of the morning, lost to reasons violent yaw

How was I to know, how was I to know it would lead to this?

How was I to know, how was I to know it would lead to this?

The deep, dark abyss.

She always knew, always knew it could come to this.

She always knew, always knew it could come to this.

Sweet, sweet abyss.
