Lyrics

Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again
The light that all men seem to fear
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay
And people kept away
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring
When the morning comes
And on and on that light returns again
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;

I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones
The place I knew when I was young
And in my fear I had to carry on
Where no-one else had gone
Looking in the heart of darkness from above
To the man inside
I took my chance and set off for the light
And started the journey of my life;

And in the darkest hour that light was calling me
Through the doorway to another world
And there below me I saw all the days of my life
Till the moment I stood on the shore
Worlds away, this was my destiny
To be back here in another time
And all around me I saw the faces that I knew
Reaching out, "there is nothing to fear,"
Worlds away
Come with me;

Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again
The light that all men seem to fear;

Come with me, come with me, come with me..
