The Lighthouse

A song I wrote about the danger of the rocks below the Lighthouse and how a clipper managed to avoid disaster. music and voice ‪@suno‬ picture ‪@bing‬ The skies were stormy, And the thunder rolled, The lightning cracked, The sea below boiled. Above in the dark, I looked out at the waves From the top of the lighthouse, Hoping all were safe. (chorus) The beacon flashed out Over a tempestuous sea, I prayed that all mariners, Would reach land safely. The cliff around the point, Was a treacherous one, Many a ship was wrecked, The crew long gone. Then coming into view I saw a ship's mast. That stood tall in the light Of the yellow beams flash. Heading off course, My heart missed a beat, I sounded the warning, The foghorns voice was deep (instrumental) (chorus) The beacon flashed out Over a tempestuous sea, I prayed that all mariners, Would reach land safely. The cliff around the point, Was a treacherous one, Many a ship had been wrecked, The crew long gone. The wild wind howled, Torrential raindrops fell, As the clipper grew near, Plunging through the swell. Helpless I stood, I could hear the men cry, Willing the ship to turn, And sail against the tide. (chorus) The beacon flashed out Over a tempestuous sea, I prayed that all mariners, Would reach land safely. The cliff around the point, Was a treacherous one, Many a ship had been wrecked, The crew long gone. I felt time had stopped, Only the lighthouse light glowed. Then slowly the crew , Managed to steer the boat. Away she turned , From the rocks of doom. They made for the harbour, And the lights of the town. (instrumental) They sailed into the harbour, And the lights of the town.
