Lighthouse Lyrics - Lighthouse - The Waifs

Lighthouse tall and grand 

Standing on that cold headland 

Shine your light across the sea 

For a wayward sailor girl like me 

Lighthouse man 

Guide this 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 

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 

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 

Steer your own ship back to shore 

He'll light your way but that is all 

This sea is full of misery and woe 

Won't you light my lonely way back home 

They don't need no light to light their way 

Oh woe betide those that say 

They think they're safe enough on their own 

Drown in murky depths below 

We all need a lighthouse for our own 

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

Oh lighthouse man I'm all at sea 

Shine a little lighthouse light on me
