Harbor Lights Lyrics

By: Steve Miller 
I can see the harbor lights 
Looks like the fourth of July 
Maybe Christmas night 
Reflected in water 

In my cell, behind this wall 
I share my time 
With many a soul who is lost 
Why must I always be a loser 
Why can't I ever be a winner 

So as time 
Goes rolling by 
I lose my chance 
It's only one life 
If I had the wings of an angel 
O'er these prison walls I would fly 
Straight from the darkness into the light 
Why must I always be a loser 
Why can't I ever be a winner 

Spoken: My dearest darling, as I'm writing you this letter 
They're coming to take me away 
They're beginning to shave my head now, sweetheart 
But as their doing it 
I just want you to know 
That I wouldn't have it any other way 
I'm glad that I killed your mother 
She was a low-down dirty old hag 
But in the end darling 
You will get your revenge 
Because you see 
Their gonna send you my belongings 
In a plastic bag 

La, la, la 
A plastic bag
