Very Friendly Lighthouses Vic Chesnutt

I hope that you are through and
You knew what you were doing
You proved what you were proving
And it was sort of soothing to see
I couldn't say that it was new to me
Guess you could say it but yours grew on me
I venture not a purer thing you'd ever really want to even see

Motorboating through our lives, only gradually gaining rudimentary
Navigational skills And even sometimes offended by very friendly
Lighthouses, very friendly lighthouses

You've really got your groove on! You even donned a fru-fru-frock!
But now that you have moved on I'll process priceless memories
I should've seen that you were stewing
I was absent when you blew in
By the time I knew it, it was already in full fabulous swing

Motorboating through our lives, only gradually gaining rudimentary
Navigational skills And even sometimes offended by very friendly
Lighthouses, very friendly lighthouses

Here's hoping that you grew some
You'd think that it would do something!
You certainly were gruesomely before I went away
