|
Jamaica Sunday morning |
|
April 1803 |
|
Children at the harbor waitin' to see |
|
There beyond the breakers |
|
Heading into view |
|
Sunlight in you sails |
|
It was you |
|
But paradise is closed today |
|
Til' the moon is full and it pulls the tide |
|
After all these years love is still alive |
|
She still waits on the other side |
|
The captain tried to warn the men |
|
As he tried to mend the sails |
|
But a whim of the wind |
|
Was too much for him |
|
And he failed |
|
And at the same time on the shoreline |
|
She was waiting for her captain |
|
And she never believed it |
|
When they told her what had happened |
|
Paradise is closed today |
|
Til' the moon is full and it pulls the tide |
|
After all these years love is still alive |
|
She still waits on the other side |
|
Jamaica Sunday morning |
|
April 1803 |
|
Children at the harbor waitin' to see |
|
There beyond the breakers |
|
Heading into view |
|
Sunlight in you sails |
|
It was you |
