Waifs - Lighthouse lyrics

Lighthouse tall and grand

Standing in a cold headland

Shine your light across the sea

for a wayward sailor boy like me

Lighthouse man

Guide the sailor back to land

Steer my ship on through the storm

Back to water safe and calm

Sometimes I need a lighthouse for my own

It gets so dark I can’t see which way I’m going

Lighthouse man I’m all at sea

Shine a little lighthouse light on me

Lighthouse man can’t help us all

Some are saved and some will fall

He’ll show you where the danger lies

But he can’t help if you capsize

He’ll light your way but that is all

Steer your own ship back to shore

Won’t you light my lonely way back home

This sea is full of misery and woe

Woe betide those that say

They don’t need no light to light their way

The think they’re safe enough on their own

Drown in murky depths below

We all need a lighthouse of our own

It gets so dark I can’t see which way I’m going

Lighthouse man I’m all at sea

Shine a little lighthouse light on me
