Jamaica Sunday Morning testo

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

Children at the harbor waitin’ to see

There beyond the breakers

Heading into view

Sunlight in you sails

It was you
