歌詞

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt on the window pane
Echoes of the falling rain
Third man to walk this floor
Locking up the heavy door
Superior is cold and wide
Watching the evening tide
[Pre-Chorus]
Underneath the floorboard wood
Found a book where he stood
Ink is faded, pages thin
Where the story must begin
[Chorus]
He was more than just a light
Guiding ships through the night
He kept the fire burning low
For the ones with nowhere to go
A legacy of silent grace
Hidden in this lonely place
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the light he gave
Over every crashing wave
Keeping secrets in the dark
Leaving such a quiet mark
[Verse]
Nineteen seventy-four
A knock upon the bottom door
Two kids with nowhere to run
Hiding from the morning sun
He gave them coffee and a bed
Keeping all the words unsaid
[Pre-Chorus]
Steel guitar begins to swell
Stories that he’d never tell
Not for glory or for fame
Just to help a hollow name
[Chorus]
He was more than just a light
Guiding ships through the night
He kept the fire burning low
For the ones with nowhere to go
A legacy of silent grace
Hidden in this lonely place
[Bridge]
Now I hold the brass lamp tight
In the middle of the night
Every flicker is a ghost
Of the ones who needed most
A kindness that was never told
Warming up the winter cold
[Verse]
The foghorn calls across the bay
Just like it did back in his day
I see the names written in lead
Of the hungry souls he fed
They found a harbor in his hand
The kindest man in all the land
[Chorus]
He was more than just a light
Guiding ships through the night
He kept the fire burning low
For the ones with nowhere to go
A legacy of silent grace
Hidden in this lonely place
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the light he gave
Over every crashing wave
Keeping secrets in the dark
Leaving such a quiet mark
[Outro]
