Lighthouse Keeper

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

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

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

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

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
