Lyrics
Salt on the window, morning is grey Grandpa kept the lamp for many a day Climbed the stairs when the waves ran high Lit the dark so the boats came by Now the lamp is mine to hold Warm as memory, bright as gold Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light, you're not alone Every night I'll keep it glowing Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light, you're not alone Every night I'll keep it glowing Keeper of the light, come home Footsteps echo on the stair Old coat hanging in the air Oil and brass and ocean spray I will carry the light today Now the lamp is mine to hold Warm as memory, bright as gold Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light, you're not alone Every night I'll keep it glowing Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light, you're not alone Every night I'll keep it glowing Keeper of the light, come home Sail on, sail on, I see you there Gold along the water, gold in the air Sail on, sail on, I hold the flame Every ship will hear your name Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light, you're not alone Every night I'll keep it glowing Keeper of the light, come home Keeper of the light Come home
