Rarotonga 2

The beat of Rarotonga a fire and clear star sky I whispered Kia Orana to the sea And dreamt a lullaby [break] The sun and Rarotonga conspired to make me new But waves and reef and sand and sun Were nothing without you [Pre Chorus] I don’t feel alive here in the city But I never wondered why I’m just a nameless number With a short term alibi [Chrous] [chorus] But when I’m in Rarotonga I feel the land, the sea, the sky I wanted to stay there forever Although I knew I had to fly Cos when I’m in Rarotonga I feel the land, the sea, the sky [break] I found a lucky slice of life In the Pacific southern sun My eyes had seen half a hundred years But my heart was twenty one [break] A flight back to Rarotonga A nervous late depart But I’m with you, it’s fine this time My island girl, sweetheart. [Bridge] What if all those stars went out In the night sky when we kissed Could we turn those stars back on In a moment just like this? [acoustic guitar solo] [acoustic guitar solo] When we leave here in the morning We will feel an aching pain The sun will light our outward flight Stars will bring us back again [Chrous] But when I’m in Rarotonga I feel the land, the sea, the sky I wanted to stay there for our outward flight Stars will bring us back again [saxophone] But when I’m in Rarotonga I feel the land, the sea, the sky I wanted to stay there forever Although I knew I had to fly [guitar solo] Cos when I’m in Rarotonga I am the land, the sea, the sky [outro] The beat of Rarotonga a fire and clear star sky Cos when I’m in Rarotonga I am the land, the sea, the sky [fade]
