Lighthouse keeper reprise/Sailing ships

In a few more years now, he’ll be gone
No need to pass his knowledge on
His humanity is antiquated
His successor will be automated

He’ll be laid to rest for eternity
On a little hill above the sea
Next to his beloved father
Two lighthouse ghosts will scan the water
For the ghosts sailing by

Sailing ships
Looking for a light
On a sea of loneliness
Drifting through the night
On the sailing ships
Restless spirits roam
Ghosts of lonely sailors
Souls without a home
Aboard the sailing ships
And not a trace of land in sight

On distant shores
Fires warm the homes
Families share and evening meal
And no one feels alone
But on the sailing ships
Emptiness abounds
The ocean sings a low sad hymn
To this hopeless lost and found
Aboard the sailing ships
And not a trace of land in sight
