Lyrics
Verse:1
Alone on a cliff in the darkness of night
Quaylie stands still shining her light
In a long satin gown
That falls to the ground
Her silhouette in the moonlight
Verse:2
Fishermen search for their way back to shore
They search for the land they can?t see anymore
In the darkness of night
They look for her light
A beacon to guide them back home
Chorus:1
And why does she go there to stand by the shore
She?s clinging to her memory of a time long ago
When she last saw her lover sail out to sea
And she?s waiting for him to come home
Verse:3
The fishermen drift for three long dark nights
Alone on the sea - in search of her light
At the end of their rope
And losing all hope
They see her light calling them home
Chorus:2
And why does she go there to stand by the shore
She?s clinging to her memory of a time long ago
When she last saw her lover sail out to sea
And Quaylie still waits there, for she doesn?t know
That her lover was lost in a shipwreck at sea
And he?ll never, no he?ll never come home
Repeat Verse:1
