beneath the island light - bertie higgins lyrics

Loading...

seems to me i’ve been to the sea
sailing near a year now
but brightly off my starboard bow
the island light is clear now
you whirled across the tavern floor
shining like that lighthouse beacon
guided me in, said “come be my friend”
and offered me the wine that i’d been seeking

come glide with me upon the gulfstream
come lie with me upon the waves
captured in my pirate’s dream
my maiden upon the bay
close upon the sh-r-line
where the nor’wester winds won’t bite

oh, what a night
beneath the island light
whoa, what a night
beneath the island light

you were like a southern wind
blowing warm as you came to me
like a treasured smuggler’s friend
even though you hardly knew me
do not fear the buccaneer
who claimed you as his plunder
off mexico, a fortnight ago
far from sh-r-, our cannons roared and he went under

come glide with me upon the gulfstream
come lie with me upon the waves
captured in my pirate’s dream
my maiden upon the bay
close upon the sh-r-line
where the nor’wester winds won’t bite

oh, what a night
beneath the island light
whoa, what a night
beneath the island light

there’s a fire inside of me that’s burning
i can see the flames a-dancing in your eyes
to the sky and the sea we’ll take our yearning
and we’ll roll like the ocean
’til it dies

come glide with me upon the gulfstream
come lie with me upon the waves
captured in my pirate’s dream
my maiden upon the bay
close upon the sh-r-line
where the nor’wester winds won’t bite

oh, what a night
beneath the island light
whoa, what a night
beneath the island light
beneath the island light
beneath the island light
