Lyrics

LIGHTHOUSE
(Tim Stafford, Bobby Starnes)

1) Another day dawning, winds from the east
Salty cool morning, whitecap seas
February fog puts a chill in the air
I’ve always been here, foul weather or fair
sailors beware

2) my bricks were laid in 18 and one
forged by slaves neath the red August sun
threatened by hurricanes thundering hail
Sharing my light with steamer and sail
Standing against the gale

BR) Tides ebb and flow, blue skies or gray
I still remain

3) The days turn to years, the minutes to hours
rain or shine, gaslight or power
the waves need the wind, the ship needs the sea
lay down your head in lullaby dreams
I’ll never sleep

BR) Tides ebb and flow, blue skies or gray
I will remain
