Lighthouse

James Taylor

Transposer:

Off the coast of Africa bound for South America A world away from here Is a ship that sails the sea is a man who's just like me And I wish that I was there I'm a lonely lighthouse not a ship out in the night I'm watching the sea She's come halfway round the world to see the light And to stay away from me There is a shipwreck lying at my feet Some weary refugee from the rolling deep Ah could you lose it all and fall for me? Couldn't we shine? I'm rolling all my golden moments into one Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day Like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night Flashing on flashing fading away Well if you feel lost and lonelyand don't know where to go And you hear this song on the radio Or even if you're feeling healthy and strong You might like to sing along But just because I might be standing here That don't mean I won't be wrong this time You could follow me and lose your mind Couldn't we shine? Rolling all my golden moments into one Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day Like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night Flashing on flashing fading away Off the coast of Africa bound for South America A world away from here Is a ship that sails the sea is a man who's just like me And I wish that I was there yeah yeah yeah I'd like to shine like the sun for one more summer day Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night See me flashing on flashing fading away Repeat and fade with vocal ad lib

La chanson évoque un homme qui se sent isolé, comparant son état à celui d'un phare qui veille sur la mer, mais qui reste à l'écart des navires qui voguent vers d'autres horizons. Il exprime un désir de connexion et de lumière, aspirant à briller encore une fois comme un phare ou le soleil, pour apporter chaleur et espoir à ceux qui se sentent perdus. Au fil de ses réflexions, il se remémore des moments précieux, tout en reconnaissant la fragilité de la vie et la complexité des relations humaines. Dans le contexte, on peut saisir un sentiment de nostalgie et d'universalité, illustrant à quel point chacun peut se sentir à la fois fort et vulnérable. La mer représente toutes les possibilités qui nous échappent parfois, tandis que le phare symbolise ce besoin d'être visible et compris, même lorsqu'on se sent loin des autres.
