Lyrics
Deep in the city
Heat of the afternoon
Your voice comes crawling home
Shone soft like, summer moon.
Will you wake me in the morning?
Before the light hits the dark?
Will you whisper something to me, about being from the start?
Oh child, I am just beginning now with you in my heart.
You keep me as your lighthouse, whenever it gets dark.
I was a call girl
Waiting for the tone
He was a lighthouse
Put your shine on, put your shine on.
Did you ever take your love to town?
Did you ever leave it there?
You were the good boy grown with the thorns in his hair.
She was a midnight girl, you found her by the stairs.
Said 'baby, come sit by me' and watched the light play in her hair.
Oh, but, don't get confused
That's not all you were told
The thing about love is
It's just a story you got sold.
I was a call girl
Waiting for the tone
He was a lighthouse
Put your shine on, put your shine on.
