(VERSE 1)
Living in the city can be tough on you
Got to get away once in a while
Hope I’ll see you when the day is through
Ready for a change of style
(VERSE 2 – ORIGINAL ALBUM VERSION ONLY)
People moving here and moving there
Everybody’s got routine
Looking closely at their own affairs
With never a change of scene
(BRIDGE 1)
So in the heat don’t be shy
Use your imagination
Now it’s complete
(CHORUS)
Sunshine and heat
Surround you on tar beach
I will meet you there
(On tar beach)
Where you can lose
Those city blues
I will meet you there
(On tar beach)
Sunshine and heat
Surround you on tar beach
I will meet you
(VERSE 2)
So many situations from day to day
The circle is turning so fast
And who is loving who need I say
Tell me how long will it last?
(VERSE 3)
So uncertain what the future holds
We never know what to expect
Searching for that person we are told
Love will be its effect
(BRIDGE 2)
We hold the key to control
Our own destination
Turn it and you’ll see
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Sunshine and heat
Surround you on tar beach
I will meet you there
(On tar beach)
Where you can lose
Those city blues
I will meet you there
(On tar beach)
Sunshine and heat
Surround you on tar beach
I will meet you there
(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
