The Coast Lyrics

A family of musicians took shelter for the night In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine Rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea
This is a lonely life, sorrows everywhere you turn And that's worth something, when you think about it That is worth some money And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money
A trip to the market, a trip into the pearl Gray morning sunlight that settles over the Washington A trip to the market a trip around the world Where the evening meal is negotiable, if there is one
This is a lonely-lone, lonely life, sorrows everywhere you turn And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money
To prove that I love you and because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast And if I have money, if I have children Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
Say oo-wah oo-wah doo-wop a doo-wah Summer skies and stars are falling all along the injured coast Oo-wah oo-wah doo-wop a doo-wah Summer skies and the stars are falling
We are standing in the sunlight the early morning sunlight In the harbor church of St. Cecilia To praise a soul's returning to the earth To the rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea
This is the only light And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money
To prove that I love you and because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast And if I have money, if I have children Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
If I have weaknesses, don't let them blind me now Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast Oo-wah oo-wah, doo wop a doo wah Summer skies and the stars are falling
Leaving the shadow on the valley behind me now All along the injured coast Ooh-wah oow-wah, doo wop a doo wah Summer skies and the stars are falling all along the injured coast Ooh-wah ooh-wah, doo wop a doo wah
