Beneath the Island Light Lyrics
Beneath the Island Light - Bertie Higgins
Composed by：Higgins Elbert Joseph/Jeffrey D Pinkham/Limbo Sonny
Seems to me I've been to sea
Sailing near a year now
But brightly off my starboard bow
The island light is clear now
You whirled across the tavern floor
Shining like that lighthouse beacon
Guided me in said come be my friend
And offered me the wine that I'd been seeking
Come glide with me upon the gulfstream
Come lie with me upon the waves
Captured in my pirate's dream
My maiden upon the bay
Close upon the shoreline
Where the nor'wester winds won't bite
Oh what night
Beneath the island light
Whoa what a night
Beneath the island light
You were like a southern wind
Blowing warm as you came to me
Like a treasured smuggler's friend
Even though you hardly knew me
Do not fear the buccaneer
Who claimed you as his plunder
Off Mexico a fortnight ago
Far from shore our cannons roared and he went under
Come glide with me upon the gulfstream
Come lie with me upon the waves
Captured in my pirate's dream
My maiden upon the bay
Close upon the shoreline
Where the nor'wester winds won't bite
Oh what a night
Beneath the island light
Whoa what a night
Beneath the island light
There's a fire inside of me that's burning
I can see the flames a dancing in your eyes
To sky and the sea we'll take our yearning
We'll roll like the ocean
'Til it dies
Come glide with me upon the gulfstream
Come lie with me upon the waves
Captured in my pirate's dream
My maiden upon the bay
Close upon the shoreline
Where the nor'wester winds won't bite
Oh what a night
Beneath the island light
Whoa what a night
Beneath the island light
Beneath the island light
Beneath the island light
