    Default Nautical song I can only describe the video

    I had seen it on MTV in the 1990s which is annoying me. I cant remember how the song goes but i do know what happens in the music video which goes with it.

    There is this lighthouse out in a storm and the lights of it go out after the lightning hits the telegraph pole which then lands on the power box and theres this boat out at sea which is trying to get back to land, these 2-3 people go out to it in their raincoats and twist this screw inside the power box which starts the lighthouse light back up again and so the boat out at sea sees it again and so avoids the rocks or something like that and gets home to his wife.

    I think the ending is where the storm passes and the boat makes it back to the harbour. It has quite a sad song to it and the video of it i think maybe is in black and white.

    Thanks Guys

    Off the top of my head, I think of two "Nautical" songs with sad undertones:

    "Come Sail Away -- Styx" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TcztyNlFx0 which seems too early to be played on MTV,

    or

    "White Flag -- Dido" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pwT2wiZsg0 which is too late to be what you're thinking of.

    Do you remember ANYTHING about the song? Rock? Pop? Ballad?
