Lighthouse on Narragansett Bay

Verse 1] Eyes wide open like a woken bordeaux. Playing song’s on WRIU’s 1970’s radio show. College Dj with endless imagination. Broadcasting in dormitories, bars and empty gas stations. Breaking the silence, of youthful defiance   [Verse 2] Paul Simon was rhyming Lennon/McCartney songs. At my 22nd birthday, I was too drunk to sing along. Moonlight kicked my ass, from a broken shot glass. Escape to Chicago, after final exams. All part of the plan, like a four aces in my hand    [Chorus] Lighthouse on Narragansett Bay. A reminder of yesterday and today. My Diamond horizon Asylum, sailing to Rhode Island. Anchored in a state of hope and grace. Lighthouse on Narragansett Bay, A reminder of yesterday and today   [Bridge] Walking with Robert Frost across multipledestinations. The Path not taken, held no regrets of self-incrimination.   [verse 3] Glass door knobs, Gold Skelton keys. Unlock rusty doors of family antiquities. Photographs of classmates on the beach, Obituaries, typed letters, edits out of reach Saved for our children to keep,   Clarinets, red guitars, carried in the cold winter air. From the local flea market, for cosmic repairs. Hope is a flame life is not over yet. Let’s open the door and not forget, the oceans’ mighty roar.      [Chorus] Lighthouse on Narragansett Bay. A reminder of yesterday and today. My Diamond horizon Asylum, sailing to Block Island. Anchored in a state of hope and grace. Lighthouse on Narragansett Bay, A reminder of yesterday and today.
