Harbor Lights lyrics

You lie over there in a bed with iron rails

Like a frightened child in the cold light, so frail

Things were going so well,just rolling along

Now, just when you think you got it all made,

You think it's all gone

China Doll, I've got something for you

A few good words, a hand to help you get through

May not be much, but now it's all that I can do

Lay down your weary head

When the night lies so still

Before I go to sleep

I come by, I come by

Just to look at you

In the dim light I say

That in my own small way

I will try, I will try

To help you through

There'll be blue skies falling

There'll be sad scenes and bad dreams

In a world so uncertain

Through the clouds it's hard to see

I will grab you and lift you

As you hold on tight and sway

Close your eyes and slip away

To the dream of your fancy

Close your eyes and float downstream

To where the marsh grass dances

Take you down where the air is thick

Try to make you shake and shiver

Make you see there will be no tricks

There will be no tricks tonight

Ther will be some tricks tonight

We could go down to the harbor lights

Lay out on the sand on the shore

Is he sane or insane

That's all they want to know

Is he crazy or strange then

If so I want to go

I've seen him leave at night

Followed him so far

Drove out about thirteen miles

Then he pulled in to a shothouse bar

For a...

Long Tall Tool One

Don't know just what's going down

Long Tall Cool One

Looks like a new friend I've found

Walking in the shadows

Train rolls by about 3 a.m.

Wakes me from a fitful sleep

Got the urge to jump on board

I believe I'm in a little too deep

Walk the train station

Walking through the park

Looking out for something

Still in the dark

One day you'll see something

Oh, with a familiar ring

It'll be just me moving through

On the way to something

It's your life, it's your world

Hey Now, where are you going

Where are you going to my friend

Said I'm going out to find

The pastures of plenty

I believe they're out there somewhere

Did you hear about the girl

Alone in the world

Thought she was losing her mind

She found it in the discarded refuse pile

Down near the railroad line

A book of sonnets torn and tattered

A few remained intact

Well he came to town with a strong pull

Would flash his moves for the worshipful

Shoulder moves from side to side

Go over your head and dot your eyes

Every night about a quarter to ten

>From the middle of June to the summer's end

People would gather from miles around

To see the mighty Rainbow knock 'em down

He'd pull up from around the back

I've been riding around with the top down

Like I always do

My love at my side, but only this time

My friends say something's changed you

They said you're running with the wrong set

The girl is someone you should never have met

Let her go on her own, son

Everyon else has just come undone

The old town fathers are up in arms

The city council is very alarmed

Sometimes I get lucky

Most times I come up short

Got to pull up the lines

Got to move around the bend

They say it's a dying breed

They say it's going to disappear

Nothing I can do, oh but pull up the load again

The tide will rise

And the tide will fall

We'll be out on the water

Before the break of dawn

The tide will rise

And the tide will fall

It came on fast when I heard the blast

And the main generator gave a giant gasp

It was round about midnight, about half past

And the city went black as coal so fast

Oh, what a time

Everybody was fazing, hazing

Oh, what a time

It was time to be amazing

Time to lose all reason or rhyme

What a time

It was bad to worse, as the landlord cursed
