| [00:-01.00] | |
| [00:00.87] | Tonight I find it hard to sleep |
| [00:03.29] | Each sound and squeak I hear |
| [00:06.10] | Keeps me staring at the ceiling |
| [00:09.19] | |
| [00:11.93] | Oh it's dark as night outside |
| [00:16.57] | And I can't stand |
| [00:18.30] | The quiet that it brings me |
| [00:21.04] | |
| [00:23.66] | And I got too much on my mind |
| [00:26.79] | I think it's time to take a drive |
| [00:28.73] | And leave it all behind |
| [00:31.52] | |
| [00:34.76] | I've got a song that's halfway there |
| [00:38.16] | I think it needs the ocean air |
| [00:40.11] | I'm gonna grab my guitar |
| [00:42.96] | And get in my car |
| [00:46.94] | |
| [00:48.05] | Oh, I need some understanding |
| [00:51.71] | I need a little love |
| [00:57.94] | Gonna speed down to the Oceanside |
| [01:03.05] | In a race with the stars above |
| [01:09.50] | |
| [01:27.85] | With my guitar in hand |
| [01:30.40] | And toes touching the sand |
| [01:32.54] | I can see the sun is coming in |
| [01:35.82] | |
| [01:38.89] | Colors fill and crack the sky |
| [01:41.74] | With purple, silver, and golden light |
| [01:45.09] | Join the day from night |
| [01:48.61] | |
| [01:50.52] | On the shoreline a fisherman |
| [01:53.23] | With the bait on his line and the rod in his hand |
| [01:56.47] | Is ready to greet the day |
| [01:59.48] | |
| [02:01.96] | He turns around to notice me |
| [02:04.66] | And the two of us are patiently |
| [02:07.77] | Waiting for the sun's rays |
| [02:12.40] | |
| [02:13.77] | Oh, I just need some understanding |
| [02:18.59] | And a little love |
| [02:24.61] | And somehow I am thinking now |
| [02:28.60] | I can get what i've been dreaming of |
| [02:35.07] | |
| [02:35.96] | But this fisherman is closing in |
| [02:39.50] | I think he could be crazy |
| [02:42.67] | He says, |
| [02:43.50] | "Would you ride with me'' |
| [02:46.52] | 'Oh, I could use the company' |
| [02:49.20] | 'I got a fish to catch and you have got a song to sing" |
| [02:55.69] | |
| [02:59.50] | His eyes were anchors as the boat would sway |
| [03:03.45] | What would you like to say' |
| [03:04.99] | You have my attention |
| [03:07.52] | I see you came out here to write your song |
| [03:09.99] | But you don't have too long |
| [03:12.63] | So show me what you're workin' with |
| [03:14.56] | |
| [03:15.23] | I'd like to give you just a little somethin' |
| [03:17.57] | And you may think it's nothing on first listen |
| [03:20.40] | In the time it takes for you to make love |
| [03:23.70] | You can break love |
| [03:25.78] | Waste love |
| [03:26.54] | And throw it all away |
| [03:27.85] | |
| [03:28.49] | But all you need is faith |
| [03:30.82] | And hope will bring a brighter day |
| [03:33.72] | And every time that you love |
| [03:36.37] | Let it lift someone else up |
| [03:38.98] | If someone tries to burn you |
| [03:40.77] | Give him your hand and turn and pick him up |
| [03:44.23] | When he's all alone |
| [03:45.45] | Now if you find yourself getting frustrated |
| [03:47.56] | Try not to get too jaded or |
| [03:49.26] | You could go insane, like me |
| [03:51.31] | |
| [03:52.00] | I tell you man you must be crazy |
| [03:54.29] | Or am I always lazy when it comes to love' |
| [03:57.56] | With every failure and turning tide |
| [04:00.81] | I toss the boomerang |
| [04:02.50] | But it never comes back to me |
| [04:05.58] | |
| [04:06.16] | So have some faith you see |
| [04:07.87] | And hope will find its way |
| [04:10.61] | Well I doubt what you're sure of |
| [04:13.44] | And it seems to me the greatest of things is love |
| [04:19.66] | But it's so hard to love, love |
| [04:26.28] | |
| [04:27.95] | We were sitting on his boat |
| [04:29.86] | Our backs to each other |
| [04:31.25] | He was giving me a little time |
| [04:34.15] | And all that he said |
| [04:35.63] | Was heard in my head |
| [04:37.08] | Wonderin' how to leave the selfishness behind |
| [04:39.91] | |
| [04:40.55] | All that I could say |
| [04:43.25] | Is that it's so hard to love! |
| [04:49.66] | The way that you want me to |
| [04:53.59] | |
| [06:07.51] | I stepped off the boat and thanked the man |
| [06:11.68] | Not sure what I was thankful for |
| [06:14.07] | When I turned back around to see him again |
| [06:17.63] | He was already gone |
| [06:19.23] | |
| [06:19.89] | Walking back from the water to my guitar |
| [06:22.98] | That's when the light came on |
| [06:25.50] | I knew what he was talking 'bout |
| [06:28.84] | I know how to finish my song |
| [06:32.07] | |
| [06:32.53] | Oh, I just need some understanding, |
| [06:36.54] | I need a little love |
| [06:42.56] | And I want to sing this song to somebody |
| [06:47.31] | Who does what they're made of' |
| [06:54.20] | |
| [06:55.08] | Oh, we need some understanding |
| [06:59.53] | We all need love! |
