Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
Gm

Eb
- They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
Cm
- And people kept away,
Ab/C

- Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
F
- When the morning comes,
Eb

- And on and on that light returns again,

- To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;
I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones,
The place I knew when I was young,
And in my fear I had to carry on,
Where no-one else had gone,
Looking in the heart of darkness from above,
To the man inside,
I took my chance and set off for the light,
And started the journey of my life;
F Gm
Eb
- And in the darkest hour that light was calling me,
F
Gm
- Through the doorway to another world,
Eb
- And there below me I saw all the days of my life,
Cm
D
- Till the moment I stood on the shore,
- Worlds away, this was my destiny,
To be back here in another time,
And all around me I saw the faces that I knew,
Reaching out, "there is nothing to fear,"
Worlds away,
Come with me;
Gm F
Eb
- Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,

Come with me, come with me, come with me...
