When I was lost
You stood there silent
And kept the light on inside me
And when I broke down
And all the world turned to gray
You told me time would be gentle

And nobody knows your name
Yeah, 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

And 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
