I wasn't one for hesitating, when there were deeper waters waiting
I would only look for refuge, until the deluge was abating
Then I'd see that old sun rising and the turning tides prevail
And the breadth of my horizons would bring the winds back to my sail
But you were the lights of the distant harbour
You were the way through the raging sea
You were the sound of a bygone laughter
When the world fell down on me
You were the hope of a bright tomorrow
When I was lost in the pouring rain
You were the lights of the distant harbour
That would lead me home again
Yeah' I see that old sun rising, and new directions would prevail
And the breadth of my horizons would bring the winds back to my sail
But you were the lights of the distant harbour
You were the way through the raging sea
You were the sound of a bygone laughter
When the world fell down on me
You were the hope of a bright tomorrow
When I was lost in the pouring rain
You were the lights of the distant harbour
That would lead me home again
You were the lights of the distant harbour
You would lead me home again
