James Taylor — Lighthouse

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 halfway 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, could you lose it all and fall for me? Couldn't we shine? I'm rolling all my golden moments into one Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day Like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night Flashing on, flashing, fading away Well if you feel lost and lonelyand 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 Couldn't we shine? Rolling all my golden moments into one Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day Like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night Flashing on, flashing, fading away 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 yeah yeah yeah I'd like to shine like the sun for one more summer day Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night See me flashing on, flashing, fading away Couldn't we shine just one more time I'd like to shine like the sun for one more summer day I'd like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night Flashing on, flashing on, fading away
