Shed your light out onto the ocean Saved or Saviour – it’s just the same For a lighthouse in Nova Scotia With a doorbell that carries your name
There’s a whaler outside, hoping someday to get home He’s been away for far too long There’s a whaler outside, hoping someday to get home Hoping to get home
Standing mighty, standing sacred Brave the weather, heroic at times Turned your light away from the ocean – every time A sailor confessed to his crimes
You’re the sailor and the lighthouse Saved and Saviour at the same time Shining back on the way you’ve come Afraid of coming too close
