Burning For Me

There's a house on the headland

Overlooking the sea

They're burning a lantern by day and by night

It is burning for me.

There's a fire on the far hill

It's a warning to be

They're burning a beacon by day and by night

It is burning for me.

I long to feel the anchor down

When they ring the harbour bell

It's good to be back home again

And know that all is well

And when the stormy southern seas

Are running wild and free

You light a lamp of love at home

It is burning for me.

There's a light in the distance

It is easy to see

They're burning a candle by day and by night

It is burning for me.
