Like a flagship On the dark side of the ocean On a moonless night Out on a stormy sea Everybody needs a beacon's light When you're twisting Turning, listing, yearning For a guardian angel To have your back When they're coming up from behind You're like everyone Who's lost their way In a world of strangers Daggers, dangers A tattered soul On the jagged shoals Of a better world to find I'm your shelter Your asylum I run deep I run silent When the city streets Turn violent Close your eyes and I am there Like a flagship On the dark side of the ocean On a moonless night Out on a stormy sea I will guide you homeward Safely to the shoreline Like a flagship Lead you safely back to me Like a flagship I will lead you back to me I have known you Through the ups and downs What makes you crazy Lost and lazy And the things That make you human Are the things I cherish most of all I'm not a pillar Not made of stone But I live and breathe For you alone In my heart of hearts You've made a home And I'll run to you When you call I'm your shelter Your asylum I run deep I run silent When the city streets Turn violent You're in my every prayer Like a flagship On the dark side of the ocean On a moonless night Out on a stormy sea I will guide you homeward Safely to the shoreline Like a flagship Lead you safely back to me Like a flagship I will lead you back to me Like a flagship On the dark side of the ocean On a moonless night Out on a stormy sea I will guide you homeward Safely to the shoreline Like a flagship Lead you safely back to me Like a flagship I will lead you back to me Like a flagship On the dark side of the ocean On a moonless night Out on a stormy sea Like a flagship On the dark side of the ocean On a moonless night Out on a stormy sea Like a flagship On the dark side of the ocean
