Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lighthouse, tall and grand
Standin' on cold headland
Shine your light across the sea
For a wayward, sailor girl like me
[Verse 2]
Lighthouse man
Guide this sailor back to land
Steer my ship on through the storm
Back to water safe and calm
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I need a lighthouse for my own
It gets so dark I can't see which way I'm goin'
Oh, lighthouse man I'm all at sea
Shine a little lighthouse light on me
Lighthouse man I'm all at sea
Shine a little lighthouse light on me
[Verse 4]
Lighthouse man can't help us all
Some he'll save and some will fall
He'll show you where the danger lies
But he can't help it if you capsize
'Cause he will light your way, that that is all
Steer your own ship back to shore
[Verse 5]
Won't you light my lonely way back home
This sea is full of misery and woe
Oh, oh, wow, betide those that say
They don't need no light to light their way
They think they're safe enough on their own
Drown in murky depths below
[Verse 6]
We all need a lighthouse for our own
It gets so dark I can't see which way I'm goin'
Oh, oh, lighthouse man I'm all at sea
Shine a little lighthouse light on me
[Verse 7]
Lighthouse man I'm all at sea
Shine your little lighthouse light on me
Lighthouse man I'm all at sea
Shine your little lighthouse light on me
Lighthouse man I'm all at sea
Shine your little lighthouse light on me
