The Lighthouse
by Rusty Shipp

Album: Mortal Ghost

Verse 1
Looking out this lonely tower
Waiting for your face to appear
Just like so many times before, out upon the sea
And as the sunlight fades
Right on time you manifest yourself again to me

It feels like we were meant to be

Chorus
When the sun goes down and the lights come out
Look for the lighthouse, and you will see
Light upon the sea
Guiding you safely back to me

Verse 2
Not quite sure just what you are
Some kind of apparition
Or a memory from someone's broken heart
Still you smile just the same
And I can't shake this longing for you
Even if I have to throw the world away
Yeah, I swear I hear you calling out my name

Chorus
When the sun goes down and the lights come out
Look for the lighthouse, and you will see
Light upon the sea
Guiding you safely back to me

Verse 3
Wait
It's not the same
I feel a change
There's something weighing down the air
A song inside my ear
It's your voice I hear
You're becoming clear
And finally you appear
You've come full bloom
You're standing in the room
It's coming true
Am I losing my mind?
But we talk all night about the afterlife
Before you fade away in the dawn's light

Chorus
When the sun comes out
And the lights go down
Look for the lighthouse
And you will see
Light upon the sea
I'll be here waiting
For you to come back home to me
