Cool Breeze

(album: The Third Step - 1976)

I took a trip down to the shores of Tahiti
I met a girl walking along the sand
I never thought for a guy like me
Love would come so easy
I said to her that I want to be your man

But she turned her head away from me
And told me this could never be
And then she left without telling why

Cool breeze, cool off my burning heart
And blow away the misty reason that keeps us apart
Cool breeze, blow all my thoughts away
For she's on my mind by night and by day

I had to know so I went to her father's plantation
And there he stood leaning against the door
I said please won't you give me some kind of explanation
But all he said was she won't be here no more

For she's on the ship that sailed away
But why she's gone he wouldn't say
I wonder if she'll ever return

Cool breeze, cool off my burning heart
And blow away the misty reason that keeps us apart
Cool breeze, blow all my thoughts away
For she's on my mind by night and by day

Cool breeze, cool off my burning heart
And blow away the misty reason that keeps us apart
Cool breeze...
