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 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 Oh woe 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
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
