Eddystone
I've been so lonely since he went
In my life it's left a rent
We'd been together many years
I've seen his laughter and his tears
I don't suppose I'll ever know
why one day he had to go
I'm still here both day and night
doing what I know is right
They only come but twice a year
to see me standing proudly here
They stop with me an hour or two
and then they leave and I feel blue
What did I do that was so wrong
I thought our bond was very strong
I can't be anything I said
that to this sundering has led
I feel so lonely now he's gone
For me he was the only one
Once I shone for only him
but now my light is growing dim
So now the only thing for me
is to carry on automatically
looking out into the night
for the keeper of my light
