When I was lost

You stood there silent

And kept the light on inside me

When I broke down

And all the world turned to gray

You told me time would be gentle.

Nobody knows your name

And nobody knows your name

To me you're a mountain

Or some shining lighthouse that guided my way

But nobody knows your name.

You held me up

When I was drowning

And wrapped me in your spare blankets

And you held my head

While I lay broken

And told me I would sleep soundly

And that life goes on.

Nobody knows your name

Yeah, nobody knows your name

To me you're a giant

Or some distant lighthouse that guided my way

But nobody knows.

Now that I'm gone

And standing on my own two feet

I still remember you fondly.
