Day 44 of 365 – Light House

img_0019.jpg

Off the coast of Africa
Bound for South America
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
Is a man who’s just like me and
I wish that I was there

I’m a lonely lighthouse
Not a ship out in the night
I’m watching the sea
She’s come halfway round the world to see the light
And to stay away from me
There is a shipwreck lying at my feet
some weary refugee from the rolling deep
Ah, could you lose it all and fall for me

Couldn’t we shine
I’m rolling all the golden moments into one
Like to shine like the sun
For one more summer day
Like to shine like a lighthouse
One more stary night
Flash it on, flashing, fading away

If you feel lost and lonely and don’t know where to go
And you hear this song on the radio
And if you wind up feeling helpless and small
You just like to sing along
Just because I might be standing here
That don’t mean I won’t be wrong this time
No, You can follow me and lose your mind

Couldn’t we shine
I’m Rolling all my golden moments into one
Like to shine like the sun
For one more summer day
Like to shine like a lighthouse
For one more stary night
Flash it on, flashing, fading away

Off the coast of Africa
Bound for South America
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
Is a man who’s just like me and
I wish that I was there

Like to shine…One More Summer Day
Like to shine…One More Stary Night
Like to shine…
Flash it on, Flashing, Fadeing away
