Текст песни Lighthouse (Live 1988) - 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 who's just like me
And I wish that I was there

I'm a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night
Watching the sea
She comes 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?

I'm rolling all my golden moments into one
I mean shine like the sun for one more summer day
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
Flashing on, flashing on, fading away

If you feel lost and lonely and don't know where to go
And you hear this song on the radio
Even if you're feeling healthy and strong
You might like to sing along

But just because I might be standing here
No that don't mean I won't be wrong this time
You could follow me and lose your mind

I'm rolling all my golden moments into one
I mean shine like the sun for one more summer day
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
Flashing on, flashing on, fading away

Off the coast of Africa, bound for South America
A world away from here, come on
Is a ship that sails the sea, is a man who's just like me
And I wish that I was, I wish that I was, oh

I'm rolling all my golden moments into one
I mean shine like the sun for one more summer day
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
Flashing on, flashing on, fading away

Flashing on
