bill staines - lightship lyrics
oh, heavens may shake and the oceans may roll
mountains may shatter but never the soul
for as constant as the northern star
and truer than the truth by far
is the simple act of love
like a lightship tossing on a raging sea
keeping eyes upon the world to be
saying “dear lord keep my lantern bright
for the ones i love are adrift tonight.”
like a bottle washing up upon the sh0r-
bearing messages from a distant war
saying “save our souls and give us peace
for what we send, we shall receive.”
we are senders of the messages we read
and we are keepers of the very air we breathe
ohfor heavens may shake…
as a desperado in a driving rain
sees the lights of home on a distant plain
there will always be within our souls
the need to find the way back home
we are riders on a cold and lonely plain
and we are looking for a way back home again
ohfor heavens may shake…
ohfor heavens may shake…
