There are a few lighthouse related songs out there.If you enjoy romance-of-the-sea with a supernatural twist, please have a listen to my contribution. The Lightkeeper`s Waltz Style is _SEDATE.STY (Sedate Celtic Waltz Trio) RealTracks in style: 3268:Cello, Background CelticWaltzNatalie Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 3288:Guitar, Nylon, Fingerpicking CelticWaltz Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 3287:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Fingerpicking CelticWaltz Ev 100 The Light Keeper`s Waltz all he remembers falls rises with the sea a shell the tide uncovers as her ship sails out of reach his beam signals warning like the wink of a mad man`s eye the light keeper talking with the better half of his sky you trim the wick I`ll strike the match slowly turns the helix waltz with me around our prism palace come back to the light for a farewell kiss sworn to outshine the stars together hostage of the sea he curses those careless stars writes her name in the log entry shadows vine the tower climbing back years with every rung no ghost incandescent vapour the keeper`s wife is ever young you trim the wick I`ll strike the match slowly turns the helix waltz with me around our prism palace come back to the light for a farewell kiss come back to the light © Robert Cordrey Feb. 2019

Robert, your lyrics are so deep with meaning, it's hard to grasp it all in one pass! I so admire your skill in this area! This is quite a lovely tune with wonderful instrumentation that is mixed beautifully! A great job on the vocal too! Thanks, Torrey

Another lovely delicate piece, well performed.
Enjoyed the vocal chord progression and the lyrics which are always interesting and worth further examination.
Nicely done.

I really like your vocals on this one & the way you delivered your lyrics ... I also enjoyed your mysterious lyrics... Particularly... his beam signals warning
like the wink of a mad man`s eye
the light keeper talking
with the better half of his sky Its hard to determine whether you are singing about a woman or a ship... I really think its a ship... Either way I enjoyed it!

Robert, you are a master of lyrics, i.e. very deep but they flow extremely beautifully. Your vocal is excellent and your mix is top shelf.
Great song.

Another intriguing song with delicious words. This is an ambitious lyric, and it takes much work to get words like that to fit a melody, I think. You've done well and I enjoyed it with your very good singing.

Robert,
A nice job of "painting the lighthouse picture". Like a movie...
The instrumentation is well chosen, the vocal and mix good. There were times that the lyric seemed to be "trying too hard" to fit the melody??

Beautifully done Robert!!! The waltz is the perfect format for this song. Your vocal may be your best ever.....love the alternating more heavy fx. Love the cello...perfect! Some wonderful lyrics (as usual). One of my faves of a lot of great ones!! Take care. Greg

Great song. Mario, I appreciate your liking the sound of the lyrics as well as the meaning. Thank you! Another intriguing song with delicious words. This is an ambitious lyric, and it takes much work to get words like that to fit a melody, I think. You've done well and I enjoyed it with your very good singing. That`s very kind and much appreciated! I lovely concept and a lovely execution of it. In a way it is a "concept" song as I wrote it to be the closing track on a collection of story type folk songs. Thanks for your listen. Hi Robert ...
You are an exceptional lyricist. Your lyrics always paint indelible images. Loved the cello, though brief. YUou simply own this genre. what a great listen!
Alan Thank you for your ongoing support,Alan. Robert,

fj Floyd, Thanks for the positives. I`ve read about some about the rigours of building and operating the old pre-automation lighthouses- its one of those subjects where a little suggestion gives listeners instant pictures. I went back & forth about the phrase "incandescent vapor" being not easily singeable, otherwise I`d need examples of what you hear. Robert,
All I can say is that this song is stunning...
Bob Thank you! Robert

Nicely done! The guitar strings are almost like a music box that draws the listener into the story.
Like Jim, I wasn't entirely sure if you were singing about a woman or a ship, or a bit of both.
The ambiguity works well here.

Wonderful imagery. Lovely progression in that waltz-time. You soft vocal carries it all very well. Thanks.I realised the other day I`m more comfortable in a higher key now than in my youth... the quaver of age coming naturally. Special
I like what Torrey had to say
"Robert, your lyrics are so deep with meaning, it's hard to grasp it all in one pass! I so admire your skill in this area!"
your vocal is very good on this too
great song That`s appreciated Kenny! Beautifully done Robert!!! The waltz is the perfect format for this song. Your vocal may be your best ever.....love the alternating more heavy fx. Love the cello...perfect! Some wonderful lyrics (as usual). One of my faves of a lot of great ones!! Take care. Greg Greg, I learnt that technique of low volume harmonising key phrases in the verses from Joanne Cooper...mine still need a tweak in places here I think. Many thanks for your generous comments. Robert
