Tahitian Moon

(앨범: Objects Of Desire - 1982)

Had to get away I couldn't stand another dreary day
Of people with the same expression on each face
Guess I needed to find some secret place

I bought a round trip cheap
I broke my lease and gave away my heap
I flew down to Tahiti where soft breezes blow
And I rented a grass roof bungalow

There I met an island girl so fair
She was the child of a dream
We both wore flowers in our hair
Bathing each day in the stream
Perfume around us everywhere
Out of the sea she came to me
Suddenly we were vis-à-vis
Lovers beneath the mango tree
Under the Tahitian moon

Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again

I knew I couldn't stay
I couldn't stand another perfect day
Of living in this paradise without an end
Guess I needed to feel confused again
I promised to return
The tears upon her cheeks began to burn
She handed me a note I promised not to lose
It said love is the pain you can't refuse

There I left my island girl so fair
She was the child of a dream
We both wore flowers in our hair
Bathing each day in the stream
Perfume around us everywhere
Out of the sea she came to me
Suddenly we were vis-à-vis
Lovers beneath the mango tree
Under the Tahitian moon

Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again

Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
Now I'm sailing my way back to you Tahiti
Take me in your arms again
