English Ships - Bring The Light Home

I just lost the feeling that I had today Do all these good times come and go away? Tell me something that I can say Sometimes I just want to walk away And I begin to understand Ships can sink or rise But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? I just asked some questions that I've never had Does who we are fade out like a photograph? 'Cause if I could, I'd do it all again The good times, bad times, sink or swim And, yes, I finally realized Ships can sink or rise But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) (Oh-oh) But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) I just lost the feeling that I had today Do all these good times come and go away?

Look at him now, another used man Wearing the passing of his dignity with all the courage that he can He stood in the storm, carved out in stone He said I've worn my honesty with pride in everything I've done So where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Look at her now, all tired and worn She never thought her life would come to be so cold or so alone She walked in the light, fought bondage for love She said I cast off the chains that I was born with but it never was enough And where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Silent souls washed up on the shore Left to walk the sands evermore, evermore Look at you now just chasing your life Make like the saviour of the planet You're just trying to get by Now you may walk the line, you may see it all through But I know you cry yourself to sleep at night just wondering what to do So where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down Where were you when my ship went down Where were you when I ran aground Where were you when I turned it around Where were you when they burned me down

We walked to the sea Just my father and me And the dogs played around on the sand Winter cold cut the air Hangin' still everywhere Dressed in gray, did he say hold my hand I said, love's easier when it's far away We sat and watched a distant light We're two ships that pass in the night We both smile and we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pass in the night There's a boat on the line Where the sea meets the sky There's another that rides far behind And it seems you and I Are like strangers, a wide ways apart As we drift on through time He said, it's harder now, we're far away We only read you when you write We're two ships that pass in the night And we smile when we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pass in the night We're just ships that pass in the night And we smile when we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pass in the night

I just stepped off the train Dodging the evening rain These days just ain't the same without you, lady Right now my feet are wet And they don't know the steps Or maybe they regret me leaving, lady You're my passport home My guiding light My hand to hold Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home Without you close I can't go on So darling keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on I step back on the stage The people call my name These crowds just ain't the same without you, lady And though they sing along I'd rather hear your song again, again Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home My guiding light My hand to hold Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home Without you close I can't go on You're the only one who knows every weakness I've exposed And I can't believe you chose to see this through You're the picture in my heart and I loved you from the start That's the reason I keep coming back to you So darling keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on You're my passport home Without you close I can't go on
