lyrics

You were cast in the night, a beacon of light.
For he comes back at dawn, don't hang on too long.
Costal morsecode hight beams, please do raise my sons.
I'm bounding maine true lover, and I will return home.
So keep what you hold.

My ink-winged bird flying.
This light house not dying.
Words cross through the channel.
This light house, high castle.

You were cast in the dark, a beacon of Sark.
Lore, for what we said, don't close your eyes and go to bed.
Your father is a strong man, he can hold his own.
But you there little brother, you are all on your own.
So keep what you hold.

My ink-winged bird flying.
This light house not dying.
Words cross through the channel.
This light house, high castle.

My ink-winged bird flying.
This light house not dying.
Words cross through the channel.
This light house, high castle.
This state seems so longer,
Then hours met stronger.
You cast your beams even higher,
Than song sang of a Lyre.

You were cast in the night a beacon of light.
