I'll Be Here
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look at me up at 5:00 am
And the ships keep coming through
It's a hundred steps up to the place where I work
It's a lighthouse tower on the wharf
Most of the time there's nothing much to do
Just check the bulbs and the wires
Most of the time there's nothing much to do
Sometimes I help out spotting fires
Cause you'll never know when youâ??re gonna need me
I'll be here waiting when you need me
You'll never know when you're gonna need me
I'll be here, I'll be here
Last summer, was a force ten gale
Hurricane size from the belle isle
We lost one sailor in that blow
You never know
You'll never know when you're gonna need me
I will be here waiting when you need me
Well, you'll never know when you're gonna need me
Cause I'll be here waiting
I'll be waiting if you need me
Now, I'll be here
I'll be here if you need me
I will be, I will be
I'll be here
