There in the distance are the lights of St Thomas
|
Calling him back to that moment in time
|
There in the harbor, he remembers the promise
|
Forever seemed honest, deep in their eyes
|
|
That night on the island, under the moonlight,
|
With the sound of the sea playing soft on the wind
|
They shared all their dreams and planned for their future
|
And looked to the day they’d be together again
|
|
So that night he set sail into the darkness
|
She said she’d be waiting there on the shore,
|
She said the light from her lantern each night would be burning
|
Until he was anchored home safe in the port…
|
|
But life can be cruel and fate was misleading
|
Destiny took him so far away,
|
By the time he returned she no longer was waiting
|
For it seemed he had broken the promise he made…
|
|
They say every day she’d go down to the harbor
|
And scan the horizon and await his return
|
But the years took their toll and one day she just vanished
|
Some say at night her lantern still burns…..
|
|
So he searches the islands the ports and the beaches
|
He hopes one day to find her again
|
Now he’s a lonely old sailor with the pain of a memory
|
Of a love and a life and a promise not kept…
|
|
I can see in the distance the lights of St Thomas
|
Calling me back to that moment in time
|
It was here in the harbor I made her that promise
|
That I would return and make her my wife
|
|
And in the distance I see the lights of St Thomas
|
