Lyrics for Taking Islands In Africa
Taking islands in Africa Watch the slow boat hit and run Outside there's a world waiting I'll take it all by storm And when the sunset finds me I'm coming home Taking islands in Africa Watch the slow boat hit and run Everyday the sun beats down I pull away from shore The wind blows hard into my sails Now I know I'm out of touch And times they could get tough But I move on so I cannot fail Taking islands in Africa Watch the slow boat hit and run When the evening fires burn The daylight dead and gone With you beside me we can run Outside there's a world waiting I'll take it all by storm And when the sunset finds me I'm coming home Taking islands in Africa Watch the slow boat hit and run Taking islands in Africa Just watch the slow boat hit and run Everyday the sun beats down I'll pull away from shore The wind blows hard into my sails
