Harbor

God of the sun, don’t make me wait ’til the morning comes
Light in the sky, look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye
Don’t keep me waiting around too much longer now
Don’t, don’t keep me waiting around, around, around, around

When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
Saw you wave goodbye down the railroad track
Sometimes when you’re out and all alone
And you can’t find your way back
Wonder if you’ll ever make it home

God of the sun, I’ll be around ’til the day’s begun
One sight of your ray takes the night away, away, away, away
Oh, but when I walk through that door
Take my hat and my coat off, waiting for you to call
I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind
And I’ll talk to you soon, always remember

When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
Saw you wave goodbye down the railroad track
Sometimes when you’re out and all alone
And you can’t find your way back
Wonder if you’ll ever make it home

I hear you knockin’ but you can’t come in
You wear your stockings like you think it’s a sin
Don’t try to tell me you ain’t been where you been
‘Cause I know that you’ve been messin’ round with him

So slow down (Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down)
Come on down (Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down)
Oh down (Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down)
Before it gets too late, before it gets too late

I met you dancin’ at the high school gym
You rubbed against me, my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that you’d like to be friends

So slow down (Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down)
Come on down (Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down)
Oh down (Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down)
Before it gets too late, before it gets too late

(Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down) On down
(Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down) On down
(Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down) Don’t try to tell me
(Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down) You’ll never sell me
(Bop shoo wop, you’d better slow down)
Before it gets too late
I said before it gets too late
You know before it gets too late
Oh, hey

Starlight falling through your hair
Sometimes I wonder if you know I’m there
Awake in the morning, a smile on your face
The same old feeling that I just can’t place

And you say don’t cry, baby
You know I’ll always be the one who cares
Don’t cry, baby
Come closer, let me wipe away your tears

A man came in with a violin
He played for me like I’ve never been
Courted before and forevermore
As the bow touched the strings, he made the whole world sing

Don’t cry, baby (Baby, don’t you cry)
You know there’ll always be someone who cares
Don’t cry, baby (Baby, don’t you cry)
Come closer let me wipe away your tears

I know I’ve been wrong
You’ve had to be strong
I guess I belong to you, my baby

(Baby, don’t you cry)
You know I’ll always be the one who cares
Don’t cry baby (Baby, don’t you cry)
Come closer, let me wipe away your tears

The sound of your voice singing songs in the night
Have taken me far away and mystified
The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes
The words that you’d spoken made me realize

Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see

Now she’s gone (She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone)
And I’ll remain (She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone)
But these tears (She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone)
I can’t contain (She’s gone, she’s gone)

So can I count on you
To be my light to guide me?
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you?

Smile away these blues
I don’t care if I’m accused

Now she’s gone (She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone)
I don’t mind (She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone)
But, I got a feelin’ (She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone)
It’s all designed (She’s gone, she’s gone)

To make me call on you
To be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you?

Someone told me you got to be free
Someone told me to stand in the rear
Keep on searching for kings in the street
Keep on crying for something that’s clear

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

Political poachers push plump packages past pacified places
Concerned citizens cry crude conduct, ’cause Captain Command
Don’t do dreams, do dreary drivel drive, doctor, daddy divine
Prize shipment tonight, tomorrow tame tempers to touch tender time

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

It takes one more moment of time in your life
One more light to reveal
One more place in the sun to turn ripe
One more kingdom to feel

You are one more posse to pass in the night
One more con to conceal
One more tiger to paint on a stripe
One more player to deal

It takes one more moment of time in your life
One more light to reveal
One more place in the sun to turn ripe
One more kingdom to feel

Sarah, please
Where is the love you said you’d save for me?
Am I a fool to think that something’s strange?
I think you’ve changed

Golly, Dad
She was the best thing that I ever had
Torn and battered now, due for repair
But she’s not there

What does it matter and who really cares?
With no one to turn to when she’s not there
Ah, but it’s all right
I’ll get by

Miles apart
And left here standing with a broken heart
Call me names but I’ll refuse to cry
Don’t ask me why

What does it matter and who really cares?
With no one to turn to when she’s not there
Ah, but it’s all right
I’ll get by

Thank the morning for bringing you
Hope you never turn your head and run
And thank the sun for shining too
Hope the darkness never comes again
What it does to me isn’t good to see

You say that fortune brought you sailing ‘cross the sea
I don’t believe you, I don’t see how it’s true
I think my dreaming brought you here
And if I wake tomorrow, will you still be near?

Once a miser, twice a son
Three’s a devil, four’s a lot of fun
Fun for living, one and all
Start a battle, who’s the first to fall?
Hope it isn’t me, have to wait and see

You say that fortune brought you sailing ‘cross the sea
I don’t believe you, I don’t see how it’s true
I think my dreaming brought you here
And if I wake tomorrow, will you still be near?
Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear?

The day we lost our voice with little choice, I can’t explain
An act of agony
And someone told me too that it’s true when you call aloud
It’s only destiny, or is it mystery?
But then we came around and sang our song and acted proud
And posed for memory

We made a cry to the underground
Are you there?
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care?

I drank a little bit, so under-lit to see it now
The show was never seen
And all the time I lost is never lost
It’s only thumbing through eternity

We made a cry to the underground
Are you there?
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care?

Who are you going to see?
What are you going to be?

You made a cry to the underground
Are you there? (Are you there?)
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care? (Do you care?)

Are you there? (Are you there?)
Are you there? (Are you there?)
Are you there? (Are you there?)
Are you there? (Are you there?)
Are you there? (Are you there?)
Are you there? (Are you there?)

These brown eyes of mine
They’ve been doin’ some powerful cryin’
Thinkin’ ’bout all those years
That always bring back the tears

Winter’s come and gone
And I’ve been left alone
Now I’m here home with you (I’m here home with you)
I do all the things that you do

Then I stop and I look around
I never know if my feet touch the ground
But oh baby, I know you’re right

Seems like a long, long time
Since I’ve held you in these arms of mine
Thinkin’ ’bout all those years (Thinkin’ ’bout all those years)
That always bring back the tears

The winter’s come and gone
And I’ve been left all alone
But, oh, baby, I know you’re right

Now that you’re far away
I think of your love and I’m praying that you’re still mine

These brown eyes of mine
They’ve been doin’ some powerful cryin’
Thinkin’ ’bout all those years (Thinkin’ ’bout all those years)
That always bring back the tears

Then I stop and I look around
I never know if my feet touch the ground
But oh, baby, I know you’re right

Baby, I know you’re right
Baby, I know you’re right

The monster exposed himself from underground
Burning his face as he ran through the town
Hoping the patrons just don’t hear a sound

Heart, court and harmony just ain’t the same
My black and their green playing some games
I’ve got all these pictures, I just need the frames

These are the things that you’ll never do
Feeding the wife on the phone
And there you are, all on your own

Red and blue, I want to like a hole in the head
It slopes in the middle and is stopping them dead
I’d like to help them, I’ve already said

These are the things that you’ll never do
Running away from your home
And there you are, all on your own

Sailin’ down the coast of Mexico
With a person I loved since long ago
Into a place nobody wants to go

Into a hurricane
Whoa, hurricane
Some’ll be taken
Some’ll remain

Heard people screamin’ and the sky was torn
I looked around and the faces were so forlorn
No relief, only scorn

In a hurricane
In a hurricane
Some’ll be taken
Some’ll remain

Hurricane’s just another name
For the torment in a man’s soul
His mind is gone
And he starts to lose control

In a hurricane
Oh, the hurricane
Some’ll be taken
Some’ll remain

How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Everybody talks, nobody really knows
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Shoo-ba-ree-ba, shoo-ba-ree-ba, nobody knows
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Everybody talks, nobody really knows
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Shoo-ba-ree-ba, shoo-ba-ree-ba

The waves come in, crash on the shoreline
Salty water, don’t you know, it’s yours, yours and mine
So grab your girl and don’t go wastin’ time
Let’s go down to the water tonight

White capped clouds dance in the sunlight
Purple fishes watch and show you some of their delight
The weather’s fine and everything’s all right
So let’s go down to the water tonight
Let’s go down to the water tonight

Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, down to the water
Down to the water

Island music sways with a palm tree
Friends of mine lay back and talk of times that weren’t so free
So let’s have fun, and that means you and me
And let’s go down to the water tonight
Let’s go down to the water tonight

Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
Down, down, down to the water
