[Intro – instrumental] (piano, cello, distant waves, 8 bars) [Verse 1] The winter fog rolls in from the sea Your lighthouse still burning for me The morning you left without a word The tide went out and never returned [Verse 2] I keep this old harbor alive Watching for ships that may arrive The seabirds come and go with the wind But I'm still here where we had been [Chorus] Lighthouse, lighthouse You light up the sea But you can't bring back What the ocean took from me I stand on the shore and wait for you Waiting for someone who's never coming through [Bridge] Maybe the light can reach far enough To find you where you are Maybe this beam across the deep Will guide you like a star [Chorus] Lighthouse, lighthouse You light up the sea But you can't bring back What the ocean took from me Let this light burn on Till you find your way home [Outro] (cello solo, piano fades) The lighthouse still burns
