Lyrics
Joe Scott / Don Robey
Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apartAnd you left me standin' in the dark, said your love for me was dyin'
Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my kneesTurn on your lights let it shine on me shine on your love lightLet it shine on me let shine, let it shine
When I get lonely in the middle of the nightAnd I need you darlin' to make things all right
So come on baby, baby please and I'm beggin' you baby cause I'm on my knees,Turn on your lights let it shine on meTurn on your love light let it shine on meLet it shine, let it shine, let it
Without a warning you broke my heart, takin' it baby, tore it apartAnd you left me standin' in the dark, shine your love for me was dark
Come on baby, baby please come on baby, cause I'm on my kneesTurn on your lights let it shine on me turn on your love lightLet it shine, let shine
About the DaySeptember 8 was a classic California Indian Summer afternoon. It provided sweltering heat, Santa Ana winds, perfect surf. By the time I had all the equipment set up, I thought I was going to melt onto the stage. Throughout the show surfers and beachgoers came up the stairs, through the pentagon, to be treated with our band’s newly released music.
The full band was in top form from a packed summer of gigging, and I was in great shape (with great singing lungs) minus the knee pains that plagued me just a few months later. So often the show, the performance is enhanced by those in attendance. Some of my closest friends were there that day.
When I listened to the tapes of this show, the magic is undeniable.
You can see the locals moving in and out of the landscape, the Captain Kenos hat is worn my my brother in arms Mr. Able Perez, he’s an unofficial member of the band. When I first started writing, he was on bass. I think my favorite performance that night was ‘Come Easily’, it was as good that night as I’ve ever heard it played. A few weeks after, when I listened to the tapes of this show, the magic is undeniable.About the RamMark "The Ram" O'Donnell is an independent American composer, producer, filmmaker, multi-instrumental performer, designer, and visual artist based out of Carlsbad, California.
