Light House Keeper

As I stand awake And gaze upon the sea And the sea in turn Looks back upon me I look out over And see the moonlight glisten I slowly shut my eyes And very closely listen The waves crash hard Upon the rocky shore I see ships light And I set the siren to roar The winds blow in hard And I know death is near The sadness of a lonesome Lighthouse keeper is clear As the winds blow in so fierce The seas men must act wise and swift They pull themselves to action Working hard to keep the ship adrift The winds blow in strong As the ship crashes a-shore The crew scrambles desperately To survive this dreadful score For the lighthouse keeper well knowing His assignment fully now strives To set out an alert in hopes Of rescuing these lives Now as daylight approaches The search will reveal There’s no ship to be found And no bodies to prevail Written by Neil Ofarrell and Skyler Dawn
