James Pilcher - Claudia Lyrics

Claudia lives in a lighthouse
She looks upon the salty sea
Standing tall, she's never frightened
But that could crumble so suddenly
How could it be
So impossible to see
That the ship's already sunk
Punctuated by a metal clunk
And she doesn't know that she knows it
But she feels it must be true
Light is virtually nothing
With the clouds obscuring the view
Claudia lies in the ocean
The waves come and the waves go
Thunderous storms can be potent
But for now she knows
It won't last
Take a drink of milk from your glass
Wash your face with fancy oils
And paint your fingernails
Just hold out for better weather
If it's the best that you can do
And you might not even feel it
But you know it to be true

Claudia lives in a lighthouse
She looks upon the salty sea
Standing tall, she's never frightened
But that could crumble so suddenly
How could it be
So impossible to see
That the ship's already sunk
Punctuated by a metal clunk
And she doesn't know that she knows it
But she feels it must be true
Light is virtually nothing
With the clouds obscuring the view
Claudia lies in the ocean
The waves come and the waves go
Thunderous storms can be potent
But for now she knows
It won't last
Take a drink of milk from your glass
Wash your face with fancy oils
And paint your fingernails
Just hold out for better weather
If it's the best that you can do
And you might not even feel it
But you know it to be true
