I want to be your port in the storm
But the water's getting awfully high
You need rescue, I want to protect you
We're hoping for a clearer sky
You are a lighthouse alone in the waves
I am drowning in a hurricane sea
Through the fog and spray, there's a flash in the grey
"Come to me, come to me, come to me..."
And every night when you have to be brave
Everyone else can say, "How beautiful!"
And you gotta stay bright
However you might feel like
Turning out your light for a while
I want to be your port in the storm
But the water's getting awfully high
You need rescue, I want to protect you
We're hoping for a clearer sky
Sometimes the basement floods
How long til we drown?
When you burn out and you have nothing left
And folks forget how long you were beaming
I will remember the day you shouted my way
"Don't be afraid. Stay with me. I ain't leaving."
I want to be your port in the storm
But the water's getting awfully high
You need rescue, I want to protect you
We're hoping for a clearer sky
