Lyrics
Foghorn Conversation
Oh, when will you return
And come to see my lighthouse
When will you watch it burn,
guiding you through the night
A thousand years have passed
A million ships have gone by
But when I look around
you are still out of sight
It´s still the same
Still this silent isolation
Not a word, just the whisper of the sea
And when we talk, it´s a foghorn conversation
Slowly rolling in
I walk along the shore
Find pieces of our lives there
Mementoes from the war
Bombshells we left behind
I am so small, I wish I was brave
I´d build a ship and sail to you
A thousand miles a way
But it´s still the same
Still this quiet desperation
Not a touch, nothing joining you and me
And when we talk, it´s a foghorn conversation
Slowly rolling in
Slowly rolling in
But it´s still the same
Still this quiet desperation
Not a touch, nothing joining you and me
And when we talk, it´s a foghorn conversation
Slowly rolling in
Slowly rolling in
Slowly rolling in
Maybe that´s where we begin
