Look at me up at 5:00 am
And the ships keep coming through
Its a hundred steps up to the place where I work
Its a lighthouse tower on the wharf
Most of the time there's nothing much to do
Just check the bulbs and the wires
Most of the time there's nothing much to do
Sometimes I help out spotting fires
Cause you'll never know when you're gonna need me
Ill be here waiting when you need me
Youll never know when you're gonna need me
Ill be here, I'll be here
Last summer, was a force ten gale
Hurricane size from the Belle Isle
We lost one sailor in that blow
You never know
Youll never know when you're gonna need me
I will be here waiting when you need me
Well, you'll never know when you're gonna need me
Cause I'll be here waiting
Ill be waiting if you need me
Now, I'll be here
Ill be here if you need me
I will be, I will be
Ill be here
