A world away from here
I s a ship that sails the s ea i s a man who's just l ike me
And I w ish that I was th ere
I 'm a lonely lighth ouse not a ship o ut i n the nig ht
I 'm watching the s ea
S he's come h alfw ay round the wo rld to see the lig ht
And to stay away from me
T here is a s hipwreck lying a t my f eet
S ome weary r efugee from the r olli ng de ep
A h could you l ose it a ll and f all for m e?
Couldn't we s hine ?
I'm r olling all my golden m omen ts into on e
Like to s hine like the su n for on e mo re summer day
Like to s hine like a l ighthouse for on e la st summer nig ht
Fl ashi ng on flashing fa ding awa y
W ell if you feel l ost and lonelyand do n't know where to go
A nd you hear this s ong on the radio
Or even i f yo u're feeling he alth y and str ong
You might like to s ing al ong
B ut just beca use I might be s tanding h ere
T hat don't m ean I won't be w rong this ti me
Y ou could f ollow me and l ose your m ind
Couldn't we s hine ?
R olling all my golden m omen ts int o on e

Like to s hine like a li ghthouse for on e la st summer nig ht
