Waifs Lighthouse
Lighthouse tall and grand Standing in a cold headland Shine your light across the sea for a wayward sailor boy like me Lighthouse man Guide the sailor back to land Steer my ship on through the storm Back to water safe and calm Sometimes I need a lighthouse for my own It gets so dark I can’t see which way I’m going Lighthouse man I’m all at sea Shine a little lighthouse light on me Lighthouse man can’t help us all Some are saved and some will fall He’ll show you where the danger lies But he can’t help if you capsize He’ll light your way but that is all Steer your own ship back to shore Won’t you light my lonely way back home This sea is full of misery and woe Woe betide those that say They don’t need no light to light their way The think they’re safe enough on their own Drown in murky depths below We all need a lighthouse of our own It gets so dark I can’t see which way I’m going Lighthouse man I’m all at sea Shine a little lighthouse light on me
