Flashing in the Dark (Rose Island Lighthouse) (Hanson)

I’m 18 acres of wild country here
With wild summer roses in my hair
I weathered the winter in wind and snow
Oh, that old North wind did blow

I’m swaying with the rockweed in this liquid frontier
I can hear the buzz of boats humming in my ears
There are those who care for me
In this bay near the mouth of the sea

Chorus:
But, I’ve been flashing in the dark
Sending out a signal to another heart
Got messages in bottles floating over waves
But, there’s miles and miles of ocean,
And I’m just another soul looking to be saved

My edges are ragged and rougher than most
But, I fit just like a puzzle piece into your coast
Well, the water is wide, and the currents are swift
I’m just another casualty of the continental drift

Chorus:
But, I’ve been flashing in the dark
Sending out a signal to another heart
Got messages in bottles floating over waves
But, there’s miles and miles of ocean,
And I’m just another soul looking to be saved
Another soul looking to be saved
