The sun sinks behind me in the West
This is the time of day I love best
Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palm
As the colours change they set a scene of tropic calm
Seagulls heading back to land
Over the mangroves and the salt pans
By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishing line
Winning back some memories and losing track of time
I head a little further North each year
Leave the cities behind
Out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further North each year
Feeling the night wrap around me
Eases my mind in serenity
Ocean waves humming on the outer reef
These balmy nights and sultry days are a welcome relief
I head a little further North each year
Leave the cities behind
Out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
This is the time of day I love best
Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palm
As the colours change they set a scene of tropic calm
Seagulls heading back to land
Over the mangroves and the salt pans
By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishing line
Winning back some memories and losing track of time
I head a little further North each year
Leave the cities behind
Out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further North each year
Feeling the night wrap around me
Eases my mind in serenity
Ocean waves humming on the outer reef
These balmy nights and sultry days are a welcome relief
I head a little further North each year
Leave the cities behind
Out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
