lyrics

I'm a searcher, I'm a searchlight
I've been waiting for someone
On the day you disappeared, you went sailing out of here
I've been shining out to sea, just trying to catch a glimpse
or a sign of you

I'm a beacon, I'm a lighthouse
I've been waiting for hours
Maybe months through the tears, I've lost track of all the years
I'm just praying that you'll notice
And set a course for my shores, c'mon home

I'm a dreamer a believer, I'm a helpless rooted griever
On a beam reaching out, to the sea
I am patience, I am vigil
Breaking water into ripples
Behind the rocks is where, we will meet

So who cares about the moon
It's just a dull and grey baloon
What am I supposed to do? As I've been waiting here for you
But it's the moon that makes the tides, and on the tide you will arrive
Back to your home where the sea and shore collide

I'm a searcher, I'm a searchlight
I've been searching all day and night
For a glimpse of a trace, or a sign
I'm the lookout I'm the keeper
Watching over all the people
On a beam reaching out beyond the rise

I'm a searcher, I'm a searchlight
I've been praying that you're alright
So ride in, on a dream, with the tide
