My Lighthouse


N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings


Come up to my lighthouse
For I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment
Well in fact, it can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here
So you could have the chance to see
The beauty of the situation, that
That you can share with me

It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange to me, yeah
All alone, you and I in our high tower
That's the way to be

Some laugh at my lighthouse
They say that is just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know
Their envy grows by the hour
See, I have a purpose up here
To guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine, it could be yours too
What do you say?

It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange to me, yeah
All alone, you and I in our high tower
That's the way to be
