Island Music

Island Music
Words and Music: Willy Minnix

I can hear Calypso singing
This fever won't subside
I can hear my heartbeat rising
Like the swelling of the tide

I gotta get away
Gotta leave this place behind me
Memories that haunt me
I can't shake them from my mind

I gotta get away
Gotta leave the hurt behind me
I hear the island music
I let the music be my guide

She was like a mermaid
All swaying arms and hair
Like a siren she grabbed me
Dragging me to her lair

I gotta get away
Gotta leave this place behind me
The memories that haunt me
I can't shake them from my mind

I belong to the water
Where my life before was born
Baptized in the fire
My thirst quenched forever more

Oooo Somewhere bromiliads are blooming
After the sweet fragrance of the rain departs

She won't let go of me
She won't let me be free
