Lighthouse — текст песни (James Taylor)

Off the coast of africa

Bound for south america

A world away from here

Is a ship that sails the sea

Is a man whos just like me

And I wish that I was there



Im a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night

Im watching the sea

Shes 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)

Couldnt we shine?

Im 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 dont know where to go

And you hear this song on the radio

Or even if youre feeling healthy and strong

You might like to sing along

But just because I might be standing here

That dont mean I wont 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 whos just like me

And I wish that I was there
