A ship in the harbor will always stay safe
Tied up to a dock ain't why it was made
Craves wind though the sails, it's wood on the waves
Paired to the great unknown

One or two fathoms there live the spoils
But the price of the barrel ain't worth the oil
When the season is over, steer it t'wards home through
The peace of some place to go

I need you now, no other
Go 'head get loud like thunder
The storm's coming down
You're my lighthouse
You save my soul
You save my soul

Magenta sky in the morning less gentle by noon
Means the whitecaps will surely kick the heel of the moon
The stars they're like ivory
Placed there to guide me home

You keep waiting on me
Can't keep waiting on me
Why you waiting on me?
I'm gone
