This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She was just a kid who wanted me to play with her
I said that I was reading
And I said that I was tired
And I said that I had work to do
And she handed me a shovel
This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She was just a kid who pulled on my beachtowel
She said she had no sisters
And she said she had no brothers
I said that she was lucky
And she picked up a dead fish
This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She sat next to me and built a lump of sand
She said it was a castle
And she said that we could live there
And I said I had my own house
And she said she burnt it down
This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She asked me if we could go get some ice cream
And I said I wasn't hungry
But I gave her a dollar
And she wrapped it very tightly
And she bounced it off my forehead
This is about the girl who lived by the lighthouse
She jumped up to leave because she heard someone hollering
She said it was her mother
And that supper was on the table
And she said she hated meatloaf
And she left me by myself.
