Verse
A
Fires of the lighthouse burning in the bay
Bm
Waters of the sound sleeping through the day
A
Ostrich of the night half buried in the sand
Bm
Nearer comes the man, sickle in his hand
A
Battles in the back seat, soap box car
Bm
Black-bolt lightning car I don't care who you are
A
Fires of the lighthouse, sound of the guitar
Bm
[?] regard
Chorus
A C#m
Death where is thy sting? In the trails of
F#m
Sunfish sails and curve stitch string?
A C#m
Black mass ghosts of half-chewed hosts
F#m
Off the Henlopen coast in the saltwater spring
Chorus
A C#m
You arrive washed up in the tide Normally alive
F#m
with your consolation boots of Spanish inquisition eyes
A C#m
Prancing around the stage at your advancing age
F#m
Offering stale communion to the presbyters of time?
Verse
A
Cousins on the swing set, rabbits in the grass:
Bm
Is it too much to ask to reproduce the past?
A
Stories of the ice boat wreck kept us warm
Bm
Sheltered from storm on the ocean floor
Chorus
(quiet)
A C#m
And in the morning, we rest in Corinthian headdress
F#m
On couches of ivory
A C#m
And wake in the moonlight Like badgers at midnight
F#m
To friends made in factories somewhere
(louder)
A C#m
You'll know where to find us, our best years behind us
F#m
Barefooted pilgrims at shrines of our youth:
A C#m
'Our joy was electric, our circles concentric...'
F#m
Converging on statues of permanence
Chorus
A C#m
Death where is thy sting?
F#m
You ought to put more thought into what you bravely sing
A C#m
Aft-mast ships of straw-short bricks
F#m
You'll soon see exactly where my victory is
A C#m
The spring to its slumber Your lighthouses black
F#m
Like virginal slumber I'll break like the lap
A C#m
Of your Delaware shore Your Blue Hen remains
F#m
Will dissolve at my door Like a teaspoon of salt in the rain
Chorus (no Chords)
And I'll wrap up your absence
In blankets of reverence
A mastodon shadow
Divided by zero
A C#m
And comfort your family With words like eternity
F#m
And friends made in factories somewhere

Fires of the lighthouse burning in the bay
Waters of the sound sleeping through the day
Ostrich of the night half buried in the sand
Nearer comes the man, sickle in hand
Battles in the back seat, soap box car
Black-bolt lightning car--I don't care who you are
Fires of the lighthouse, sound of the guitar
"Things without all the remedy should be without regard"--Lady Macbeth
Death where is thy sting? (-1 COR 15: 55)
In the trails of Sunfish sails and curve stitch string?
Black mass ghosts of half-chewed hosts
Off the Henlopen coast
In the saltwater spring
Death: You arrive washed up in the tide
Normally alive with your consolation boots of Spanish inquisition eyes
Prancing around the stage at your advancing age
Offering stale communion to the presbyters of time?
Cousins on the swing set, rabbits in the grass:
Is it too much to ask to reproduce the past?
Stories of the Ice Boat No.3 wreck kept us warm
Sheltered from storm on the ocean floor
And in the morning, we rest in Corinthian headdress
On couches of ivory
And wake in the moonlight
Like badgers at midnight
To friends made in factories somewhere
You'll know where to find us, our best years behind us
Barefooted pilgrims at shrines of our youth:
'Our joy was electric, our circles concentric...'
Converging on statues of permanence
Death where is thy sting?
You ought to put more thought into what you bravely sing
Aft-mast ships of straw-short bricks...
You'll soon see exactly where my victory is
The spring to its slumber
Your lighthouses black
Like virginal slumber
I'll break like the lap
Of your Delaware shore
Your Blue Hen remains
Will dissolve at my door
Like a teaspoon of salt in the rain
And I'll wrap up your absence
In blankets of reverence
A mastodon shadow
Divided by zero
And comfort your family
With words like eternity
And friends made in factories somewhere
