I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves. I keep my lamp lit to warn the sailors on their way. I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past. I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts. This story is based off of the song "The Lighthouse's Tale" by Nickel Creek. You can listen to the song, but I suggest that you wait until after, otherwise the entire story will be ruined... I just wanted to try this out, because I was ready to bawl when I heard that song, and it's such a good song too! So here's my version of the song, from the point of view of The Lighthouse's Keeper.

The teachers all know, but they choose to ignore it. The students have no idea- they are all blinded by the charms and sophistication of having a much younger teacher than they had expected. he might have been fresh out of university, young and naïve, but that does not mean he is not capable of hurting others. *** Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's five and I'm driving home again It's hard to believe that it's my last time The man on the wireless cries again "It's over, it's over" Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's late and I'm with my love alone We drink to forget the coming storm We love to the sound of our favourite song Over and over Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's time and we're in each others arms It's time but I don't think we really care Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes...
