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
Every day 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'll move on so how could I 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
Every day the sun beats down
I pull away from shore
The wind blows hard into my sails...
