 Lighthouse  tall and grand, standing  on a cold  headland.
 Shine  your light across the sea, for a wayward  sailor girl  like me.
 Lighthouse  man, guid this sailor  back  to land.
Steer  my ship on through the storm, back  to waters safe  and calm.
Sometimes  i need a lighthouse of my own,  it gets  so dark i can't see which
 way im going.  lighthouse  man im all at sea, shine  your little lighthouse
 light  on me.
 Lighthouse  man help us all, some  are saved and some  will fall.
 He'll  show you were the danger lies, but he  can't help if you  capsize.
 He'll  light your way but that is all, steer  your own ship back  to the shore.
 Wont  you light my lonely way back home.
 This  sea is full of missery ands woe.
 oh - woe  - be - tide to those that say, they don't need  no light to
 light  there way.
 They  think there safe enough on there own, drown  in murky depths  below.
 (Go back and repeat> "We all need a light house of our own" till the end)
 should sound pretty.
