There's a lighthouse in the harbor Giving guidance with its light But I had no one to return to As I wandered through the night From the first time that I saw you Standing silent by the shore I knew my search was over And I would look for love no more Deep in the waters of love I am falling Sinking like a stone Deep in my heart I can hear love callin' Goin' once, goin' twice, goin gone Goin' once, goin' twice, goin gone There's a ship on the horizon Makin' its way against the wind From the place where I stand watching I swear my ship is coming in. Deep in the waters of love I am falling Sinking like a stone Deep in my heart I can hear love callin' Goin' once, goin' twice, goin gone Goin' once, goin' twice, goin gone Sinking like a stone Deep in my heart I can hear love callin' Goin' once, goin' twice, goin gone Goin' once, goin' twice, goin gone
