The Lighthouse
Nathaniel Hackey 1983 (Madrid)
Escape to me
I'll be waiting
Look for the lights in the dark
Through the foggy mist of doubt
There you will find me
Just beyond reason
And anything else you care about
Walk with me
Hand in Hand
Keep walking lightly, softly
Lock your eyes to the stars above
Ill whisper gently to you
Guide you
To a place of peace and love
It's only a dream
I've so longed for
If only a wish would come true
I would find a way to take you there
As I walk
Won't stop until I find you
