The Light on the Bay Songtext

von Chris De Burgh

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 now the ghost of Blackbeard walks again
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain
"Help me ---
Help me ---"
I took the old path down, down to where the graveyard lay
The place I knew when I was young
They say that Blackbeard had hidden precious stones
Amongst the ancient bones
So I set off to the darkness down below
By the candle glow
T′was then I heard the voices, saw a light
And started on the journey of my life
