"Lonely As A Lighthouse" lyrics

I lie 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
Thinking of 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!

Lonely as the lighthouse
Drowning out at sea
