Look at me up at 5:00 am And the ships keep coming through It's a hundred steps up to the place where I work It's 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 I'll be here waiting when you need me You'll never know when you're gonna need me I'll 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
You'll 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 I'll be waiting if you need me Now, I'll be here I'll be here if you need me I will be, I will be I'll be here
