Dock note
Pink Palace light, Malio's, the bronze bell, and Terry. Slower than Wasn't Me. Leave air after Lord, she does.

Guitar chart is below the lyrics.
Pink Palace lobby, five o'clock light
Two glasses sweating, she's laughing just right
All of these sunsets, we still feel the thrill
Terry looks over, I settle the bill
Then we're off on our way down to Malio's
"Captain Johny, Miss Terry — good to see you"
Candles and grouper and a red-wine view
She says, "Captain Johny, you starin'?"
I say, "Yes, I sure am."
Some men chase the horizon
I found mine in your eyes
Pass-a-Grille sunset, sand still warm on our feet
The Gulf turning copper, the whole town gone sweet
Somebody's ringing that old bronze bell
Ten times, twelve times, fifteen — I can't tell
'Cause I'm lost in her pretty face instead
Pass-a-Grille sunset and Terry by my side
Every single evening, the same golden tide
The sun goes down easy, the bell says goodnight
And I fall for her again, right on time
Paradise Grille, nine hundred Gulf Way
The crowd gets quiet like the end of a play
They pick out a stranger to stand on the sand
Some kid from Ohio with a bell in his hand
And Terry leans in, says, "You'd never get chosen"
I say, "Terr', I got picked back when I said I do"
She laughs a little, the way that she does
Forty years later, that's still what love does
Pass-a-Grille sunset, sand still warm on our feet
The Gulf turning copper, the whole town gone sweet
Somebody's ringing that old bronze bell
Ten times, twelve times, fifteen — I can't tell
'Cause I'm watching that golden tan glow instead
Pass-a-Grille sunset and Terry by my side
Every single evening, the same golden tide
The sun goes down easy, the bell says goodnight
And I fall for her again, right on time
I've watched a thousand sunsets from a helm out at sea
Not one of them ever looked back at me
But she does
Lord, she does
Pass-a-Grille sunset, sand still warm on our feet
The Gulf turning copper, the whole town gone sweet
Somebody's ringing that old bronze bell
Ten times, twelve times, fifteen — I can't tell
Terry, take my hand
And we're sailin' home again
And we're sailin' home again
