[Verse 1] Where the black sea meets the sky, A lonely tower keeps its eye. Through salt and fog, through winter rain, A pale light calls across the waves again. They say a woman walks the stair, With silver footsteps in the air. And if you hear her softly cry, Don't turn around, don't ask her why. [Chorus] Oh, Eyela, spirit of the light, Why do you wander through the night? Your lantern burns, but you are gone, Still calling sailors home till dawn. Oh, Eyela, lost beyond the foam, You guard the sea, but never home. And every wave that strikes the shore Sounds like you knocking at the door. [Verse 2] An old brass bell begins to sway, Though there is not a breath today. The keeper's log, beneath the dust, Still bears the words: I wait. I must. A photograph beside the flame, A woman's eyes, a woman's name. And underneath, in faded ink: "I saw him leave. I saw him sink." [Chorus] Oh, Eyela, spirit of the light, Why do you wander through the night? Your lantern burns, but you are gone, Still calling sailors home till dawn. Oh, Eyela, lost beyond the foam, You guard the sea, but never home. And every wave that strikes the shore Sounds like you knocking at the door. [Bridge (spoken softly)] Sometimes when the moon hangs low, A woman's voice rides where the cold winds blow. "Come back, my love, the light is on..." Then suddenly the voice is gone. And far below, beneath the deep, The drowned bells ring where shadows sleep. [Final Chorus] Oh, Eyela, spirit of the light, Still mourning him through endless night. Your lantern fades, your candle dies, But something watches from your eyes. Oh, Eyela, lost beyond the foam, Perhaps the sea became your home. And when the storm begins to roar, I hear you knocking... knocking at the door. [Outro] The lighthouse turns. The darkness sighs. A woman's shadow crosses the light. And somewhere out beyond the bay... Eyela is waiting. To be taken away.
