Lyrics & section notes
[Intro – instrumental]
(piano, cello, distant waves, 8 bars)
[Verse 1]
The winter fog rolls in from the sea
Your lighthouse still burning for me
The morning you left without a word
The tide went out and never returned
[Verse 2]
I keep this old harbor alive
Watching for ships that may arrive
The seabirds come and go with the wind
But I'm still here where we had been
[Chorus]
Lighthouse, lighthouse
You light up the sea
But you can't bring back
What the ocean took from me
I stand on the shore and wait for you
Waiting for someone who's never coming through
[Bridge]
Maybe the light can reach far enough
To find you where you are
Maybe this beam across the deep
Will guide you like a star
[Chorus]
Lighthouse, lighthouse
You light up the sea
But you can't bring back
What the ocean took from me
Let this light burn on
Till you find your way home
[Outro]
(cello solo, piano fades)
The lighthouse still burns
