Lyrics:
Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Looked into your eyes this morning
You were far away
You must have known I was looking for you
You knew you couldn't
Ships go by and wave at me
I try, can’t breathe
There’s an ocean in between
Your heart, and me
I know I hurt you and I
I don’t deserve you but don’t
Star Eyes,
That's the way you make my eyes shine
When those lips of yours caress mine
Just to have you by my side
Would leave me starry eyed
Oh
Ships go by and wave at me
I try, can’t breathe
There’s an ocean in between
Your heart, and me
I know I hurt you and I
I don’t deserve you but don’t
Oh it's cryin' time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
That it won't
you get your courage up
You light a match an' your eyes adjust
It's amazing what a man can see
By the light of a burnin' bridge
An' there were
closely on the beach
Take my heart and set it free
Summer romance by the sea
Walk the boardwalk next to me
Feel the soft cool ocean breeze
And sandy dunes
mmh
Oh, don't you leave me this way
Won't you wait another hour or two?
You know I need you to stay
Don't make me beg for you
Oh, don't you
a hollow plea
The thoughts I swallow leave me thirsty
You do a very fine imitation of me
And I say I'm not turned on by the way you laugh
I'm not turned
in me any way that
you think might be ok
I'm hanging out by the ocean
I wish I could just stay
send your mind to a million places
leave my mind
Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' oooh
That it
need ya
It's a long way down
If I fall without you
I know I hurt ya and I
I don't deserve you but don't leave me
Don't leave me now
Ships go by and wave
Do not listen to a word I say
Just listen to what I can keep silent
The only way to gain approval
Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
dance that would go by way too fast
No, when I look at you, girl, what I wanna do
Is gonna take longer than that
I wanna drive out to Cali for your
When I see my baby,
what do I see,
Poetry,
Poetry in Motion
Poetry in Motion, walking by my side, her lovely locomotion,
keeps my eyes open
It's yesterday again,
Here inside my mind.
And I can't find a way
To leave your love behind.
I want to wake up to the day
Your memory won't stand
on its way
I close my eyes remembering
the warmth of yesterday
It seems a shame to see September
swallowed by the wind
and more than that it's oh so sad
want to dance with you
I see a world where people live and die
with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no
trace
I want to dance with you
I see
Bring the wine my lady
Bring the wine my love
It's the time for loving
It's the time
In a room where passions flow
Naked shadows as we go
By
It falls, the light, by your side
And flows into a sea of lost dreams
The ocean opens its arms to lost souls
And toils the night, so it seems
There's a photo of a genius
Standing by the ocean
With a peacock and a cool hat
In 1943
On a beach in Santa Barbara
He's looking quite contented
legs are unsteadied by
The way you close your eyes
I wish we could hit rewind
You leave me in the dark
Recounting all my sins
You put words in my
she'll be waiting in Reno tonight
It's been so long since I've seen her but I still remember
The tears in the dark eyes when I said that I had to leave
eyes that adore him
Bore him it might
But he won't leave my sight for a glance
In every way, everyday I need less of myself
I need more him
More
