[1st verse]
F C G Dm
And your baby's hanging on looking at pictures on the phone
F C G Dm
You're back at home while I've gone away
F C G Dm
We thought it wouldn't feel long 'cause aren't we so independent
F C G Dm
But the wind out here is strong it blew right through those confidences
C Am G F
And the sky's been coming down as if the green could get more green
C Am G Dm
As if the poppies had just thirst and thought the Sun was just a dream
F C G Dm
The water on the road looks like a river lost control
F C G Dm
Spilling at the seams and soaking through my jeans
F C G Dm
And run up to the hill run right through the battery
F C G Dm
The military men have gone and left this all to me
C Am G F
Listen the wind is making songs up in the trees all day long
C Am G Dm
They're singing more to me they're making their own reveille

I'm just out here watching clouds I could be famous for doing this
F C G Dm
Just thinking thoughts there's nothing to it
F C G Dm
And on the days I make it right I got my work to do
F C G Dm
I can clean up the window then serenade the view
C Am G F
But when the sky gets dark and down I just want to be known by you
C Am G Dm
In our lighthouse I can really feel it too

Put the million candles on

I want the lighthouse to be on

When the evening's coming on

The night can feel so long

Turn on the lighthouse turn it on

Put the million candles on
