Eric Andersen Foghorn
[Verse 1]
The harbor horn blows in the night mist
Warning ships to keep their distance
No ice or fog can freeze this bed of tears
I know I ain't goin' anywhere
My only mission is a prayer
That every thought of you could disappear
[Chorus]
There's a foghorn blowing for the lost
It could be singing just for us
Lighthouse searches in the dark
While seabells toll the deep
They cannot warn or catch the tide that's taken you and me
If I flew like a seagull
I'd fly down like a thief
If crime was light I'd kill the night
And let the wave go free
[Verse 2]
I'm listening while the rain is falling
Is there anybody calling
An echo that the rain forgot to place
Did I have something of your heart
A shred time could not tear apart
Time, that skinny thief without a face
[Verse 3]
I take a look inside the mirror
I still can't recognize who's near
Someone I'd remembered from the past
Someone I left by the trail
Looking for the Holy Grail
I promised him one day I would come back
[Chorus]
There's a foghorn blowing for the lost
It could be singing just for us
Lighthouse searches in the dark
While seabells toll the deep
They cannot warn or catch the tide that's taken you and me
If I flew like a seagull
I'd fly down like a thief
If crime was light I'd kill the night
And let every wave go free
[Verse 4]
I see the light fall through the leaves
It takes its leave of you and me
Time takes all that we forget to keep
The future keeps a grain of truth
Scorns the past, the slaves of youth
But the future cannot form one memory
[Verse 5]
I'm looking for my solitude
Something good and make it new
Something I have never tried before
Show my fangs and face to you
Open hearts and gratitude
Turn the knob if someone's at the door
[Chorus]
There's a foghorn blowing for the lost
It could be singing just for us
Lighthouse searches in the dark
While seabells toll the deep
They cannot warn or catch the tide that's taken you and me
If I flew like a seagull
I'd fly down like a thief
If crime was light I'd kill the night
And let every wave go free
Let it go, set it free
Let it go, set it free
Let it go....
