[Spoken Word Intro - Weathered Maritime Voice]
The fiddle sang of salt and storm, pulled me to Maine's cold shore
Where the dead still stride the widow's walks and the lighthouses keep score

[Foghorn and Lonely Fiddle Intro]

[Verse 1]
Through the fog I saw it glowin', that abandoned lighthouse tower
Where no light had burned for fifty years since the keeper's final hour
But as I climbed them spiral stairs, my fiddle began to hum
And I heard the sound of drowning men and knew my time had come

[Pre-Chorus - Ghostly]
A figure in a rain slicker said "I've waited all these years
For someone who could play the song to free these sailors' tears"

[Chorus - Swelling with Emotion]
Play for the souls in the keeper's light
Lost in the storm on that cursed night
My fiddle wails like the winter gale
While a hundred ghosts sing their final tale

[Mournful Fiddle Solo with Ghostly Voices]

[Verse 2]
He showed me where they gathered, phantom ships upon the reef
Crews of men who died that night, still searchin' for relief
"I failed to light the beacon when the hurricane came through
Now play your fiddle, stranger, do what I could not do"

[Pre-Chorus - Building Storm]
The wind picked up my melody and carried it to sea
And one by one them ghostly ships began to break free

[Chorus]
Play for the souls in the keeper's light
Lost in the storm on that cursed night
My fiddle wails like the winter gale
While a hundred ghosts sing their final tale

[Bridge - Spoken Over Storm Sounds]
The keeper stood there weepin' as the spirits sailed away
Into whatever harbor waits beyond the break of day
He turned to me, transparent now, his duty finally done
"Thank you, friend," he whispered as he faded with the dawn

[Final Fiddle Solo - Peaceful Resolution]

[Outro - Calm After Storm]
I walked back down that lighthouse stair, the morning calm and bright
The fiddle quiet in my hands, but somehow feelin' light
One good deed this curse has done, though more dark roads await
And I wondered if my own soul would find such peaceful fate

[Gentle Waves and Fiddle Fade]
