Duties of a Lighthouse Keeper Lyrics
There was a storm last night
Blew away wrong and right Watching the waves crash down . Now our words like boats Either they sink or float Are they designed like that Can't they come back Last night I was a lighthouse Only needing to keep you there Like a lonesome shadow searching Like a sea fog in the air I'll keep you there Called on my radio Frequency dipped below Audible levels So I sat in my wet clothes Keeping the wicks trimmed and lit After the storm had hit I turned on my light But it couldn't find you |

The chorus describes someone else in the way it can be interpreted. It dosn't fit in with the previous lyrics in that its more of a forsaken onlooker trying to piece everything together. Whomever or whatever the person is looking for (I think is the subject in the first 2 versus) is important enough to always keep a shining light aimed at.
This is a great song from a great band. Moody Motorcycle is a kick ass debut and I can't believe I'm the first to comment on any of their songs.

I agree with your general idea. I think that the metaphor of a lighthouse is also about the narrator trying to guide the arguers, so that they would make up, possibly a son and two parents?
