We've been through some things together
With trunks of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather
Long may you run
Long may you run
Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.
Well, it was back in Blind River in 1962
When I last saw you alive
But we missed that shift on the long decline
Long may you run
Long may you run
Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run
Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now
With those waves singing "Caroline" (Caroline No)
Rollin' down that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time
Long may you run
Long may you run
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run

Make Love to You
I was lonesome as I could be in a bad kind of time
'Til I saw you look at me, where there's smoke, there's fire
All of my troubles disappear when I watch you move
Girl, your body said everything and I know you knew
I want to make love to you, yeah (love you, love you)
Make you feel alright (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh, yes I do (love you, love you)
Yes, it'll take all night (love you, love you)
In a smoke filled bar
In a southern town, I met somebody special
I wish I could stick around
But I don't mind so much
Do you, baby?
'Cause the time we had was such a rush
And you're such a lady
I want to make love to you, oh, yes, I do (love you, love you)
Make you feel all right (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh yeah (love you, love you)
Yes, it'll take all night (love you, love you)
Girl, when you looked my way
I knew this night was ours
It doesn't matter, I'll be gone with the dawn
So will you
We choose, who we choose, when we choose
Nobody can take away the time we had
Each moment extra long, it's quite a memory to have
Don't you forget with the dawn, I'll be gone
And how we got together, anyway, well, that's another song
I want to make love to you, oh, yes, I do (love you, love you)
Make you feel all right (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh yeah (love you, love you)
It'll last all night (love you, love you)
I want to make love to you (love you, love you)
Yes, make you feel alright (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, yeah (love you, love you)
Girl, it'll last all night (love you, love you)
Love you, love you, love you, love to you
Love you, love you
'Til I saw you look at me, where there's smoke, there's fire
All of my troubles disappear when I watch you move
Girl, your body said everything and I know you knew
I want to make love to you, yeah (love you, love you)
Make you feel alright (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh, yes I do (love you, love you)
Yes, it'll take all night (love you, love you)
In a smoke filled bar
In a southern town, I met somebody special
I wish I could stick around
But I don't mind so much
Do you, baby?
'Cause the time we had was such a rush
And you're such a lady
I want to make love to you, oh, yes, I do (love you, love you)
Make you feel all right (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, oh yeah (love you, love you)
Yes, it'll take all night (love you, love you)
Girl, when you looked my way
I knew this night was ours
It doesn't matter, I'll be gone with the dawn
So will you
We choose, who we choose, when we choose
Nobody can take away the time we had

Don't you forget with the dawn, I'll be gone
And how we got together, anyway, well, that's another song

I want to make love to you, oh yeah (love you, love you)
It'll last all night (love you, love you)
I want to make love to you (love you, love you)
Yes, make you feel alright (love you, love to you)
I want to make love to you, yeah (love you, love you)
Girl, it'll last all night (love you, love you)
Love you, love you, love you, love to you
Love you, love you

Midnight On The Bay
It's midnight on the bay
Lights are shinin'
And the sailboats sway
And that cool ocean breeze
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, midnight on the bay
Sure feels good to me
What's this I see
There's someone comin'
Walkin' right up to me
She tells me, I know your name
And if it's all the same
I'd like to spend some time
And midnight on the bay
Sure feels good to me
And now it's midnight on the bay
Lights are shinin' on the sailboats that sway
In the cool ocean breeze
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, midnight on the bay
Sure feels good to me
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay
Lights are shinin'
And the sailboats sway
And that cool ocean breeze
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, midnight on the bay
Sure feels good to me
What's this I see
There's someone comin'
Walkin' right up to me
She tells me, I know your name
And if it's all the same
I'd like to spend some time
And midnight on the bay
Sure feels good to me
And now it's midnight on the bay
Lights are shinin' on the sailboats that sway
In the cool ocean breeze
Blowin' down through the keys
I think I'll call it a day
Oh, midnight on the bay
Sure feels good to me
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay
Midnight, midnight, midnight, midnight
Midnight on the bay

Black Coral
Have you ever been down deep?
I mean way down under the ocean
Just inside Odin's reach
Better beware of this potion
And remember you don't belong
It always seemed so unfair
The fishes around will always remind you
Got to go slow, take it easy down there
You've only so much air
When you get a little deeper
If you slow down you might keep her
The sea, unforgiving and she's hard
But she'll make love to you
Show you glimpses of the stars
At about two hundred feet
You realize the peril
But seductive is the deep
That shark over there holds no terror
For a while you really belong
The ocean will always share
You become one like friends and lovers
But remember, take care
She'll try to keep you there
The deeper you go
'Cause of the pressure of the air
The nitrogen comes and goes, gets you high
It's an alien atmosphere
They call it rapture of the deep, be you not afraid
You're too far down by now to be scared
Two hundred eighty-seven feet
I saw Jesus and it made sense that He was there
So belong but don't be long
There's plenty of ocean to share
Please take heed, there's mouths to feed
The ocean, she'll provide
Don't take more than you need
'Cause heaven just might be the sea
I mean way down under the ocean
Just inside Odin's reach
Better beware of this potion
And remember you don't belong
It always seemed so unfair
The fishes around will always remind you
Got to go slow, take it easy down there
You've only so much air
When you get a little deeper
If you slow down you might keep her
The sea, unforgiving and she's hard
But she'll make love to you
Show you glimpses of the stars
At about two hundred feet
You realize the peril
But seductive is the deep
That shark over there holds no terror
For a while you really belong
The ocean will always share
You become one like friends and lovers
But remember, take care
She'll try to keep you there
The deeper you go
'Cause of the pressure of the air
The nitrogen comes and goes, gets you high
It's an alien atmosphere
They call it rapture of the deep, be you not afraid
You're too far down by now to be scared
Two hundred eighty-seven feet

So belong but don't be long

Ocean Girl
In the jungle land
With the sea and the sand
Can I meet you there?
We'll be drinkin' bananas
From long tall glasses
In the open air
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
There'll be music playin'
What no words could say
When you first get there
We'll be lost in a corner
That we find in each other
There' so much to share
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
Ocean girl
Ocean girl
Ocean girl (ocean girl)

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
With the sea and the sand
Can I meet you there?
We'll be drinkin' bananas
From long tall glasses

Ocean girl
Come 'round the world
From forgotten shores
There'll be music playin'
What no words could say
When you first get there
We'll be lost in a corner
That we find in each other

Let It Shine
There's a light on over my head, my Lord
There's a light on over my head, my Lord
Let it shine, let it shine
Although it may not be the only one
Let it shine, shine, shine
Although it may not be the only one
There's a moon roof over my head, my Lord
And my Lincoln is still the best thing built by Ford
Let it roll, let it roll
Although it may not be the only one
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride
Although I may not be the only one
I got religion in the airport, my Lord
They caught me waiting on my baggage when I was bored
Let them chant, let them chant
Although they may not be the only one
Let them dance, dance, dance
Although they may not be the only one
There's a light on over my head, my Lord
There's a light on over my head, let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Although it may not be the only one
Let me shine, shine, shine, shine
Although I may not be the only one
Let me shine, shine, shine, shine
Although I may not be the only one
There's a light on over my head, my Lord
Let it shine, let it shine
Although it may not be the only one
Let it shine, shine, shine
Although it may not be the only one
There's a moon roof over my head, my Lord
And my Lincoln is still the best thing built by Ford
Let it roll, let it roll
Although it may not be the only one
Let me ride, ride, ride, ride
Although I may not be the only one
I got religion in the airport, my Lord
They caught me waiting on my baggage when I was bored
Let them chant, let them chant
Although they may not be the only one

Let it shine, let it shine

12/8 Blues (All the Same)
Can you see me cryin'?
Can you hear me dyin'?
I wanna talk to you, listen too
Do you know me like I know you?
Do you love me like I love you?
Is it all the same? Yeah
We'll be old friends, tryin'
Til' the road ends, we'll be flyin'
Listen to me, sing to you
I got the music, I need the space
I'd like to use it to get out of this place
'Cause it's all the same, yeah
I got the miserables, help me
Don't seem sensible, tell me
I wanna talk to you, listen too
Too many times I've swallowed my words
Is it a crime to want to be heard?
Or is is it all the same? Yeah
Can you hear me dyin'?
I wanna talk to you, listen too
Do you know me like I know you?
Do you love me like I love you?
Is it all the same? Yeah

Fontainebleau
Who put the palm over my blond?
Who put all the tar on the morning sand?
Who took everything from where it once was
And put it where it last was seen?
Fontainebleau, they painted it green
Fontainebleau, for the well-to-do
At the Fontainebleau
There's a palace in the gravy
That's holding on and on and on
Even after all the blue-haired ladies
And the wheelchairs are gone
I guess the reason I'm so scared of it
Is I stayed there once and I almost fit
I left before I got out of it
People were drownin' in their own
Fontainebleau, was that me?
Fontainebleau, well, I guess I'll see
Fontainebleau
Fontainebleau, where the surfer works
Fontainebleau, 'til the break of day
Fontainebleau, 'cause it takes a shark
Fontainebleau, to catch a wave at the Fontainebleau
Fontainebleau
Fontainebleau
Fontainebleau
Who put all the tar on the morning sand?
Who took everything from where it once was
And put it where it last was seen?
Fontainebleau, they painted it green
Fontainebleau, for the well-to-do

There's a palace in the gravy
That's holding on and on and on
Even after all the blue-haired ladies
And the wheelchairs are gone

Guardian Angel
There's a guardian angel
Watching over you, yes
Better mind your ways
Just might leave on you
In the darkness
Who else is really with you?
Only you alone
Got to live with you all the time
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do
Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel
Who are these kindred spirits?
Would you know them
If they stood in front of you?
They come below
The longing beseech at you
Trying to telephone
Someone might listen for a while
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do
Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel
When a passing stranger
Looks away from you
An uneasy feeling
Starts coming over you
Somebody watching somewhere
Maybe today it's you
Comes a desperate urge to run
Guardian angel, where are you?
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do
Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel, yeah
Watching over you, yes
Better mind your ways
Just might leave on you
In the darkness
Who else is really with you?
Only you alone
Got to live with you all the time
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do
Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel
Who are these kindred spirits?
Would you know them
If they stood in front of you?
They come below
The longing beseech at you
Trying to telephone
Someone might listen for a while
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do
Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
Your guardian angel
When a passing stranger
Looks away from you
An uneasy feeling
Starts coming over you
Somebody watching somewhere
Maybe today it's you
Comes a desperate urge to run
Guardian angel, where are you?
When there's no more time
And nothing left to do
Who will hear you?
Who will hear your heart?
