The Light On The Bay

de Burgh Chris

Last night, I saw it there,
Shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear;

They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
And people kept away,
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring, 
When the morning comes, 
And now the ghost of Blackbeard walks again, 
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;

“help me --
help me --“;

I took the old path down, down to where the graveyard lay, 
The place I knew when I was young,
They say that Blackbeard had hidden precious stones, 
Amongst the ancient bones, 
So I set off to the darkness down below,
By the candle glow, 
T’was then I heard the voices, saw a light, 
And started on the journey of my life;
