Off the coast of africa   Bound for south america   A world away from here   Is a ship that sails the sea   Is a man who's just like me   And I wish that I was there      I'm a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night   I'm watching the sea   She's come half-way round the world to see the light   And to stay away from me   There is a shipwreck lying at my feet   Some weary refugee from the rolling deep   Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me?       (chorus)   Couldn't we shine?    I'm rolling all my golden moments into one   Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day   Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night   Flashing on, flashing, fading away      Well if you feel lost and lonely and don't know where to go   And you hear this song on the radio   Or even if you're feeling healthy and strong   You might like to sing along   But just because I might be standing here   That don't mean I won't be wrong this time   You could follow me and lose your mind      - chorus -      Off the coast of africa   Bound for south america   A world away from here   Is a ship that sails the sea   Is a man who's just like me   And I wish that I was there
