I will never leave the sea
She's been good to me
I've made a life here on this ledge
In a lighthouse on the edge

Toss my net out on a wave
Reel in what Neptune gave
Light a fire on the rocks
Gather driftwood for the box

Chorus:
I am a lighthouse keeper,
And I live alone
I will walk these steps
And work these hands to the bone
Polishing the glass,
Polishing the glass

Keep the brass bells shining bright
Trim the wicks and oil the lights
Warn the tall ships to steer clear
If the storm clouds should appear

Chorus

I am rising with the tide
I am going with the flow
I am turning like a gear
I could scream, but no one would hear me

Chorus
