Ever since I was a kid, I have always wanted to live in a lighthouse. I think I saw a few mystery movies that took place in them.

Here's the one in question:

What a cool place! I’ll bet it gets interesting at night in a storm...

I could live there! I keep thinking of John Masefield:

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

There, in the lighthouse, I await to guide the ship on the sea passage to a safe harbor.
