The ice in autumn’s air, sets my heart on fire
You keep me warm, through the ebony night
Though merely a crescent, my heart’s desire
To see the glow of your face, my guiding light

I held my place, upon the shore
Watched the boats in the harbor, glide
They kept their distance, thanks to me
And I was filled, with a sense of pride
For I was the one to watch over
The boats that passed through, each day
Making sure, they were safe from harm
As they made their way, into the bay
Their sails did fly, against the wind
Easier now, then from the seas
Flapping and swaying, in a rhythmic dance
Guided by me and the Nantucket breeze

I could hear the pounding of your heartbeat
Like the pouring of the rain against this old house
Every inch, creaking, from the weight of the world
On shoulders that held more than they should
Taken in stride, as if this was your lot in this life
Never a complaint, you just went about your day
And night couldn’t come soon enough for you
Tired and weary, you had fallen fast asleep
Before I even had the chance to say thank you
For making my world a much better place to live
And this I know, as time passes, and days fade
You will always be the light that guides me
Shining within me, through my own darkest hours

A lonely beacon
Upon the hill
Illuminating the evening
Letting its light shine
Through the darkest hours
Guiding those who go astray
