lyrics

I grew up next to a lighthouse shining out to sea
Guiding distant boats to safety
But never once did it shine shine on me

Now, I’m just a digger and I roam the coast
I search for things lost long ago
But I never find a thing I need

Dark is the night night night
Cold is the ground ground ground
Where you lay

There’s a cathedral down on 10th street
My mom took me when I was young
Before I could walk away

I keep a hatchet right next to my bed
To fight the dreams lost in my head
And now, that old cathedral is all I can see

Dark is the night night night
Cold is the ground ground ground
Where you lay

I have a sister, she lives in Rockland
Down by the pier all day long she sits
And she stares into the sea

When it is raining I jump on my bike
I burn down Route 1 through the storming night
Running the red lights on that long and lonesome road

Dark is the night night night
Cold is the ground ground ground
Where you lay

I drove to Portland Maine
Through the driving rain
Just to be found

Dark is the night night night
Cold is the ground ground ground
I’m coming home
