Do you remember sailing on that dark and stormy sea?
The salty water covered you like a blanket with every breaking wave.

That's when you found me. Or I guess I found you.

You saw me shining while you were on that dark and stormy sea.
I loomed over the coast, illuminating what I could.

There I was, love, your lighthouse. Your savior.

I thought I could be your home.
But I showed you my treacherous rocks. That deceiving beach I called my own.

I was your lighthouse. And I did my job.

We both knew you wouldn't crash your boat and drown in my twisted love.

And so I watched you sail away on that dark and stormy sea.
Away from certain death, that salty water covering you like a blanket with every breaking wave.

So here I wait, burning brightly and searching always, my head on a swivel.  
Pouring my light out on that dark and stormy sea.

Searching only for you.
