Okeechobee Purple

(album: Cactus And A Rose - 1980)

I am a pirate, you are my prisoner
I am the captain of the good ship fantasy
We're leaving this island
I'm taking you with me
There's better places I know for us to be

So let's sail on out of Manhattan
Past the Statue Of Liberty
And sail on down to old Key West
Watch the sun fall into the sea
They're holding hands in a circle out there
Watching the skies turn Okeechobee purple I swear

I am a pirate, I'm also a dreamer
With my ship in a bottle on a bookshelf next to me

So let's sail on out of Manhattan
Past the Statue Of Liberty
And sail on down to old Key West
Watch the sun fall into the sea
They're holding hands in a circle out there
Watching the skies turn Okeechobee purple I swear
