Shipwrecked from *NEW* Undertow by Sharon Knight
Written for the Pigeon Point Lighthouse along the California Coast between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz. Many a ship met their demise along this partially hidden promontory. The one that finally got the lighthouse built was called the Carrier Pigeon, hence the name.

Lyrics
Ghosts of twilight, reach their fingers
Drawing down the veils of the night
In my mind, foreboding lingers
The shore has faded from my sight
Weep for me, my true love
My hopes are lost to me
Shattered on the rocks of misgiving
Cruel mistress of the sea
I gave the word, to draw us closer
I gave the word that cast us to our doom
None could guess, the cost was so dear
In such a fragile balance fate does loom.
Weep for me, my true love
I long to see your face once more
Our ship lies battered on the breakers
And casts us far from shore
