Lighthouse tall and grand

Standing in a cold headland

Shine your light across the sea

for a wayward sailor boy like me



Lighthouse man

Guide the 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 cant see which way Im going

Lighthouse man Im all at sea

Shine a little lighthouse light on me



Lighthouse man cant help us all

Some are saved and some will fall

Hell show you where the danger lies

But he cant help if you capsize

Hell light your way but that is all

Steer your own ship back to shore



Wont you light my lonely way back home

This sea is full of misery and woe

Woe betide those that say

They dont need no light to light their way

The think theyre safe enough on their own

Drown in murky depths below



We all need a lighthouse of our own

It gets so dark I cant see which way Im going

Lighthouse man Im all at sea

Shine a little lighthouse light on me
