lyrics

Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact / it can wait all day

I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
the beauty of this situation that / you could share with me

It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange / to me

All alone / you and I in our high tower
That's the way / to be / Hey

Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know / their envy grows by the hour

See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too / what do you say?

It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange / to me

All alone / you and I in our high tower
That's the way / to be / Hehehey hey.
