lyrics

Only On Islands Like This
(© 2003 Walter Ehresman)

When we walked in the bar down in Malakula,
and the band felt a groove, and the room seemed to move,
and a certain smell hung in the air;
–only on islands like this.

In our corner rattan, with my all-over tan,
and the sound of the sea as you whispered to me,
and I felt time could not wake to care.
–only on islands like this

[break]
Aaahhhhhh, feel the Scorpion’s sting;
Aaahhhhhh, as your ears start to ring.

When the glow hit the waves, and we fled from the day,
to the bungalow room where we kissed in the gloom,
and with knee bent my shoe hit the floor;
–only on islands like this
