|
Off the coast of africa |
|
Bound for south america |
|
A world away from here |
|
Is a ship that sails the sea |
|
Is a man who's just like me |
|
And i wish that i was there |
|
I'm a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night |
|
I'm watching the sea |
|
She's come half-way round the world to see the light |
|
And to stay away from me |
|
There is a shipwreck lying at my feet |
|
Some weary refugee from the rolling deep |
|
Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me? |
|
(chorus) |
|
Couldn't we shine? |
|
I'm rolling all my golden moments into one |
|
Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day |
|
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night |
|
Flashing on, flashing, fading away |
|
Well if you feel lost and lonely and don't know where to go |
|
And you hear this song on the radio |
|
Or even if you're feeling healthy and strong |
|
You might like to sing along |
|
But just because i might be standing here |
|
That don't mean i won't be wrong this time |
|
You could follow me and lose your mind |
|
- chorus - |
|
Off the coast of africa |
|
Bound for south america |
|
A world away from here |
|
Is a ship that sails the sea |
|
Is a man who's just like me |
|
And i wish that i was there |
