Lighthouse

I saw you staring at the waves That cold night at the beach Hoping in vain That you’d turn and look at me Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the ocean Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the sea Well, now I look off in most any direction See a bunch of decent reasons I should give up hope Yeah, and I struggle with my troubles I’m trying to talk ‘em little buggers into lettin’ me go I saw you staring at the waves That cold night at the beach Hoping in vain That you’d turn and look at me Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the ocean Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the sea Like an old lighthouse Hoping you’ll see my light and come to me Well, now sometimes, but it ain’t very often I get to sit and listen to a coyote cry And my heart goes soft ‘Cause we’re all just little creatures that are running out of time I saw you staring at the waves That cold night at the beach Hoping in vain That you’d turn and look at me Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the ocean Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the sea Like an old lighthouse Hoping you’ll see my light and come to me Well, I look into the sky at the constellations Big and Little Dipper and the Belt of Orion And my imagination Makes a bunch of different pictures out of the starry sky I saw you staring at the waves That cold night at the beach Hoping in vain That you’d turn and look at me Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the ocean Like an old lighthouse At the edge of the sea Like an old lighthouse Hoping you’ll see my light and come to me
