Lost Child

Keep an eye out for this lighthouse.
You have a place here safe and warm.
I'll stand watch across the ocean.
Till you're back here in my arms.

I've gathered coal and tinder.
Prepared a bed for you to lie.
When your ship returns you to us.
On the deck we'll build a pyre.

Lost child
I'm tossing breadcrumbs on the waves.
But they scatter far and wide,
before they lead you home again.
Lost child
Do you feel something missing too?
Do you wonder where we are,
as we wonder about you?

Some memories are too painful.
No reason to hold on.
Make room for new beginnings.
Write the words for a new song.

Pages of my diary.
Build a fire at my core.
The flames consume my childhood.
As the warmth evens the score.

Lost child
I'm tossing breadcrumbs on the waves.
But they scatter far and wide,
before they lead you home again.
Lost child
Do you feel something missing too?
Do you wonder where we are,
as we wonder about you?

Shadows jump against the wall,
where your picture hangs alone.
Lost child
I'm tossing breadcrumbs on the waves.
But they scatter far and wide,
before they lead you home again.
Lost child
Do you feel something missing too?
Do you wonder where we are,
as we wonder about you?
