The Well and the Lighthouse Lyrics

[Verse 1: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne]
I'm serving time
All for a crime I did commit
You want the truth?
You know I'd do it all again
Left for dead,
Heaven is only in my head! (In my head)

[Verse 2: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne]
I heard a voice
Calling from down inside a well
"See that silver shine?"
She said to come claim what was mine
So down I fell
Down into the water black
My prison cell
Only the moon was shining back! (Was shining back)

[Chorus: Win Butler]
If I seem lost, well, I weighed the cost
And chose my crime--
Now it's mine, all mine!

[Verse 3: Win Butler, Régine Chassagne and Both Win and Régine]
I heard the voice
Calling from just outside the well
She said "You fool,
Now that you know your end is near;
You always fall
For what you desire or what you fear!" (What you fear)

[Bridge: Win Butler]
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
If you leave, them ships are going to wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
Can you see the funny side? The ships are going to wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
The lions and the lambs ain't sleeping yet
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet

[Outro: Régine Chassagne]
(Sleeping yet)
(Sleeping yet)
(Sleeping yet)
