I'm layin' outside the harbor walls To keep you off the rocks My task is cold wet and thankless But I light the fire with ardor You know I'll keep you from the storm I'm the pilot of the waves Before the tempest roars once more To swallow up its slaves Don't leave me lonely Lonely as the lighthouse Don't leave me lonely Drowning out at sea Weary traveler on the seas As you look out across your bow Can't see you, but you see me And I reaffirm my vows Now you're safe to walk ashore Do you spare a thought, I wonder For the light that brought you in I pulled you from the danger Don't leave me lonely Lonely as the lighthouse Don't leave me lonely Drowning out at sea Don't leave me lonely Lonely as the lighthouse Looking for love, looking for love, looking for love Every five seconds ♪ They tell a tale of a man Lost for love in a sea of doubt Where the stars shine out His name in a constellation Is all that's left of his dying legend Out there somewhere Beyond the new horizon Out there somewhere Through the waves of doubt Shining There it is Drowning out at sea Lonely as the lighthouse Drowning out at sea Lonely as the lighthouse Drowning out at sea Lonely as the lighthouse Drowning, drowning, drowning Drowning out at sea Look over the lighthouse Looking for love, looking for love, looking for love Every five seconds
