Boz Scaggs | Harbor Lights (Unplugged)

Written by Boz Scaggs , this version of Harbor Lights is from Fade Into Light - which also contains "unplugged" exceptional versions of Simone & Lowdown. Harbor LIghts originally appears on Silk Degrees.

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 sailors 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 a wreck
I followed

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

Oh-oh Oh-oh
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

My eyes must be betrayin'
But that lonesome jukebox playin'
Somethin' 'bout the harbor lights is callin' 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 as we awoke
Still haunt me
"What you feel too
May reveal you
Let me steal you for my life"

Oh-oh Oh-oh
The harbor lights are of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back
To you my love
To you my love
To you my love

Oh-oh Oh-oh
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

Are the harbor pictures of Baltimore?

[0marigolds]

@dragonflySummer09 yes Hon, before Ravens Stadium/Camden Yards existed and Hammerjacks was the original one. Peace ;.)

[dragonflySummer09]

@0marigolds Thanks for posting this...I also really love the original (great bass lines on that)....I'm sure most people don't know of this song because they've only heard his big hits, but this song is exactly why I like to peruse albums of artists I like....I ALWAYS find some "buried" treasure there....I thought the harbor looked familiar! Did you put the video together?

[0marigolds]

@dragonflySummer09 You are welcome, and yes, I did put this together, it was one of my first attempts. If you look on my channel in my uploads, you'll find some other Boz Scaggs songs I video victimized, lol. (some old others from 2001's Dig) Good luck finding buried treasure of sounds. Peace ;.)

LOVE it! Thanks so much for posting! Made me cry!

[gitgeezer]

My favorite tune...Thanks

[darkmike333]

I've always loved this song, since my mom played it when I was a boy. Even more beautiful Unplugged. Makes me want to take my lady on a picnic and just lay on a blanket and watch the harbor lights, her hand in mine. Soon, my love...I'll be home. Thanks for posting this.
