Woman In The WavesWhen I was a boy of twenty-twoI stood before a statue Was it you? They shake the fruit when they dance You should try some when you have the chance Her face had no power to deceive She wore her beauty shamelessly Like Eve Guavas can be bittersweet But the mango's always good to eat Love has complicated my past God now's I left no stone unturned Now I realize that at last I've found her again She understands how the blue water behaves Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves My eyes could travel her beauty for always Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves I know that my life has led me here To where the dolphin jumps And the sky's clear Here we live without locked doors Share and share alike - what's mine is yours I see invitation in your smile To celebrate our passions Without guile In the noa noa night Nave nave's a familiar sight Love has complicated my past God now's I left no stone unturned Now I realize that at last I've found her again She understands how the blue water behaves Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves My eyes could travel her beauty for always Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves I am avare of her fragrance Even when she disappears She understands how the blue water behaves Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves My eyes could travel her beauty for always Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves |
