(Music begins: A slow, meandering tempo. A lone, distant electric piano plays a simple, somber chord progression. The sound is drenched in a soft, hazy reverb. A single, low-pitched saxophone line echoes the piano melody in a mournful, drawn-out way.)

(Verse 1)
The fog rolls in on the sleepy shore,
And I watch the waves from my window door.
The salt on the pane, a silver tear,
For a love that’s lost, so very near.
I light the lamp and I watch it spin,
A quiet fire from deep within.

(Chorus)
Ooh, the lonely lighthouse...
It winks and whispers in the dark.
A little light, a fragile spark,
For all the ships that sail tonight.

(Music: The bass line enters with a slow, wandering pattern, reminiscent of the "twang" in "Falling." A gentle, brushed drum rhythm begins, just barely audible.)

(Verse 2)
The gulls cry out in a ghostly sound,
Over the empty, moonlit ground.
I see your face in the watery glass,
A moment stolen, too fast to pass.
Your shadow lingers by the door,
The ghost of all I've waited for.

(Chorus)
Ooh, the lonely lighthouse...
It winks and whispers in the dark.
A little light, a fragile spark,
For all the ships that sail tonight.

(Instrumental Break: The saxophone takes a solo, long and melodic with a hint of sorrow. The electric piano provides the simple harmony. The sounds swell and drift like smoke, creating a sense of timelessness and longing.)

(Bridge)
The world is sleeping, I'm awake,
For goodness' sake, my heart will break.
The fog consumes the world below,
And to my window, you won't go.

(Chorus)
Ooh, the lonely lighthouse...
It winks and whispers in the dark.
A little light, a fragile spark,
For all the ships that sail tonight.
