[Verse 1] Nine months gone Nine months green I slept with the swell And I woke with the beam My coat still smelled Like tar and rain I crossed that dock With your name [Pre-Chorus] And there you were By the stone white light Hands in your coat On a cold blue night You said, “I’d wait” Like it was easy truth I heard your laugh Before I saw you [Chorus] Under the lighthouse You waited for me Under the lighthouse Just where you’d said you'd be Harbor light, harbor light You kept your word tonight Under the lighthouse You were my shore in sight [Verse 2] The harbor ropes Felt stiff in my hand My boots hit land Like I’d learned again You held my face With salt on your cheek And all that sea Went quiet in me [Pre-Chorus] The gulls cut high Through the blackened air Your lantern glow Was already there I was a storm Till you said my name Then every hard mile Broke like rain [Chorus] Under the lighthouse You waited for me Under the lighthouse Just where you’d said you'd be Harbor light, harbor light You kept your word tonight Under the lighthouse You were my shore in sight [Bridge] Nine months at sea Nine months of blue But every dark wave Was leading to you If I sail again If the wind turns wild I’ll follow that beam Like a child [Final Chorus] Under the lighthouse You waited for me Under the lighthouse Just where you’d said you'd be Harbor light, harbor light You kept your word tonight Under the lighthouse Under the lighthouse I found my home in sight Under the lighthouse You waited for me Under the lighthouse Just where you'd said you'd be Just where you'd said you'd be
