LIGHT FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE
(Bob Zentz/Traditional)

When the daylight fades and the shadows fall
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
And the weather watch spies a coming squall
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
And the sun sinks low in a troubled sea
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
And the night winds blow and the rain falls free
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me

Oh shine on me, shine on me
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
Shine on me, oh, shine on me
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me

Oh the clouds boil black and the wind will wail
Let the light...
And you're caught in the teeth of a living gale
Let the light...
And then your sailor's heart is filled with fear
Let the light...
When the sound of the surf on the rocks is near
Let the light...


Then the wind drops off and the sea's becalmed
But the fog is thickest before the dawn
Then the new sun burns that fog away
From the darkest night comes the brightest day
When your ship is safe in port again
You can thank the keeper, you can thank the flame
