James Taylor Lighthouse Lyrics

Lighthouse Lyrics

Off the coast of Africa 
Bound for South America 
A world away from here 
Is a ship that sails the sea 
Is a man who`s just like me 
And I wish that I was there 

I`m a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night 
I`m watching the sea 
She`s come half-way round the world to see the light 
and to stay away from me 
There is a shipwreck lying at my feet 
Some weary refugee from the rolling deep 
Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me? 

(Chorus)
Couldn`t we shine?
I`m rolling all my golden moments into one 
Like to shine like the sun for one more Summer day 
Shine like a lighthouse for one last Summer night 
Flashing on, flashing, fading away 

Well if you feel lost and lonely and don`t know where to go 
And you hear this song on the radio 
Or even if you`re feeling healthy and strong 
You might like to sing along 
But just because I might be standing here 
That don`t mean I won`t be wrong this time 
You could follow me and lose your mind 

- Chorus -

Off the coast of Africa 
bound for South America 
A world away from here 
Is a ship that sails the sea 
Is a man who`s just like me 
And I wish that I was there
