lyrics

Beacon on the Hill

If you leave me now, I wouldn’t last a day
I tell you it’s the end of me, if you go away
How the time has flown, since we’ve been together,
Why can’t a love like ours go on and on and on for ever?

What devil’s riding you, to make you act this way,
I could have left before but no, I never went astray.
Chorus
I’ll light a beacon on the hill, bide my time when winds are still
I will play the waiting game, I will endlessly repeat your name
I’ll light a beacon on the hill, I’ll go on loving you until
All the clouds have blown away, and you are coming home to stay


I’ve always tried to help you, don’t ask me what went wrong,
You’ve been drifting on the sea without a sail for much too long
You’re looking for a harbour, a haven, a safe retreat,
Where you can hide away from all the shadows that you meet

There’s always much to tell, when lovers fall apart,
There’s nothing so mysterious as matters of the heart
And I have looked inside yours, seen it shining bright,
But also murky waters, dangerous as the darkest night

Chorus

I’ll light a beacon on the hill, I will wait for you until
All the doubts and fears are gone, and you are back where you belong
I’ll light a beacon on the hill, I’ll go on loving you until
All the clouds have blown away, and you are coming home to stay
I’ll light a beacon on the hill, bide my time when winds are still
I will play the waiting game, I will endlessly repeat your name
I’ll light a beacon on the hill, I’ll go on loving you until
All the clouds have blown away, and you are coming home to stay

I’ll light a beacon on the hill, I will wait for you until
All the doubts and fears are gone, and you are back where you belong
I’ll light a beacon on the hill, I’ll go on loving you until
All the clouds have blown away, and you are coming home to stay
I’ll light a Beacon on the Hill.
