The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Lights lyrics

Started out a younger man Just to sail the oceans wide Take a look at some other lands Maybe find myself a bride I soon found out how hard A sailor's life can be Now there's only one thing that I Ever want to see Lights across the bay Lights across the water Makin' plans to steal away, yeah With the Captain's daughter Lights across the bay Lights across the water Makin' plans to steal away, yeah With the Captain's daughter Jumped ship in Singapore Just to take a look around Stole a boat and I rode ashore But I ran that boat aground Nothin' much appealed to me And my money soon was spent Someone up and shanghai'd me And now we're settin' sail again Lights across the bay Lights across the water Makin' plans to steal away, yeah With the Captain's daughter Lights across the bay Lights across the water Makin' plans to steal away, yeah With the Captain's daughter Guess I've seen my share of oceans I've seen all the waves I want to see Now I'm just goin' through the motions Really only one thing that I ever want to see I want to see Lights across the bay Lights across the water Makin' plans to steal away, yeah With the Captain's daughter, daughter Lights across the bay Lights across the water Makin' plans to steal away, yeah With the Captain's daughter I want to see lights I want to see lights I want to see lights
