Ooh now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet, oh
I got no reason to doubt you baby
It’s all a terrible mess
And I’ll run in the rain till I’m breathless
When I’m breathless I’ll run 'til I drop, hey!
And the thoughts of a fool’s kind of careless
I’m just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
I got chills, they’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
'Cause the power you’re supplying
It’s electrifying!
I send your name
Up into the sky
And the wind blows it back into my face
You see, even nature
Reacts on me
And all my electricity
Will make it across your sea
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Beyond the Sea (La Mer). Ray Conniff
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ 'bout very free and easy
Gonna ride across the river, deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
If you listen you can hear it call,
There’s river called the River of no Return,
Sometimes it’s peaceful, sometimes it’s wild and free…
They say the sea turns so dark that
You know it’s time, you see the sign
They say the point Demon’s Guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave
Was it you that said
“How long, how long
How long to the point of know return?”
We sailed for parts unknown to man
Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold
Could match our captain’s eye
Upon the seventh seasick day
We made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue
No mortal place at all
“Our sails swell full as we brave all seas
On a westward wind to live as we please
With the wicked wild-eyed woman of Portobello town
Where we’ve been told that a purse of gold
Buys many man a crown
They will serve you and clothe you
Exchange your rags for the velvet coats of Kings.”
There’s a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there’s a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin’ whiskey down
They say, Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine
Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship
I’m your captain, I’m your captain
Although I’m feeling mighty sick
I’ve been lost now, days uncounted
And it’s months since I’ve seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Or am I all alone
The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The Professor and Mary Ann
Here on Gilligan’s Isle.
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started in this big spaceport
Aboard this big starship
The mate was a pointy-eared Vulcan lad
The Captain, brave and sure
300 extras signed onboard
For a five year tour
A five year tour…
She packed my bags last night preflight
Zero hour 9:0O am
And I’m gonna be high as a kite, by then
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill!
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends
Though Gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
They were blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Whoa, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Whoa, running man, running for home
Run for Home. Lindisfarne
And so we’re running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another’s hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we’re alone now
