Thread Name: ADD: The Lighthouse (Thank God for the Lighthouse)
Subject: ADDPOP: Goin', Gone (Alger/Dale/Koller)
Not to be confused with the one Nanci Griffith recorded starting "There's a lighthouse in the harbour"

Goin', Gone
(Pat Alger, Bill Dale & Fred Koller)

There's a lighthouse in the harbor
Giving guidance with its light
But, I had no one to return to
As I wandered through the night

From the first time that I saw you
Standing silent by the shore
I knew my search was over
And I would look for love no more

[Chorus:]
Deep in the waters of love I am falling
Sinking like a stone
Deep in my heart I can hear love callin'
Goin' once, goin twice, goin' gone
Goin' once, goin twice, goin' gone

There's a ship on the horizon
Makin' it's way against the wind
From the place where I stand watching
I swear my ship is coming in

[Chorus to fade out]
