Discover the story of the song > The Lighthouse’s Tale – Nickel Creek

The song is about a lighthouse who tells their story of the past. The lighthouse had a keeper who helped them warn the ships at sea. The keeper fell in love with someone else, and when she died in a storm, the keeper was devastated and eventually took his own life by jumping off the lighthouse. The lighthouse continues to stand as a warning to sailors, even though it is empty and alone.
