Island Vibes
Amorous thoughts don't live in me,
But in Trinidad I could fall in love.
Leaning by under azul skies,
Come away with me to Trinidad
And fall in love.
Sensuous breezes and lulling heat,
Tunes to sway away and smile,
Come away with me to Trinidad
And fall in love.
Hard grey pavement; cold, unfriendly?
No.
Try beige roads lined with
Shades of green.
Millions of faces all blank?
No.
Try a different vibrant palette
Each one you pass,
Voices music in itself.
Come away with me to Trinidad
And fall in love.
No way you can come here and be unmoved,
Whether it be the golden sun or
The calypso, soca, parang, steel pan
That melt your heart.
Come away with me to Trinidad
And fall in love.
I can't stay here and not feel high,
You can't feel this warmth and not fly.
We'll go to the beach,
Let waves dance with us,
Water warm,
Move in the sand glittering with shells
And lay there til sunset.
Come away with me to Trinidad
And fall in love.
As the clear starry sky shades us
And green fireflies also dance to the beat
Kiss my ear and whisper
As we move in symphony
"You were so right about Trinidad
"Now let us fall in love."

Callin me a plastic paddy
Ya will?
Must I skip along your little hills
Aye, to the left and to the right
Let's Go To An Island Of Love...
Let's go to an island,
Away from it all,
Let's harken to this
Inner call...
Let's live

Come away

My Island of love
Has no sharks
But eyes of sharks
To welcome beauty
Yes buddy
Keep talking
Your eyes will
Only look at
The beauty
