Harbor Lights Songtext
von Boz Scaggs

Son of a Tokyo Rose
I was bound to wander from home
Stranger to whatever I′d awaken to

Spun the wheel, took a shot in the dark
One way ticket and a runaway heart
A sailor's dream came true
The night I dreamed of you

Through the neon doorways
Down the stony streets, I fell
All hands high side, all eyes erect, I followed

Sailing shadows, reds and blues
Curtains drawn, but I saw through
The window to your soul, and I found you

Whoa, the harbor lights of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back to you, my love
To you, my love, to you, my love
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


My eyes must be betrayin′
But that lonesome jukebox playin'
Somethin' ′bout the harbor lights is calling me

Back to some Jamaican bay
Doesn′t seem so far away
Keep the change, but I'll repay these memories

Dawn came in this morning
Like some old junked-out melody
The words she spoke when we awoke still haunt me
What you feel too won′t reveal you
Let me steal you for my life

Whoa, the harbor lights of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back to you, my love
To you, my love, to you, my love

Whoa, the harbor lights of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back, oh, to you, my love
To you, my love, to you, my love
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
