Out on the island, the natives taught me
About their strange god and their rituals
And they showed me their mellow music
It felt so different, but kinda the same
I had no time, I had to go
Had to finish my race around the earth
And for one shining minute, well all was okay
They had this way of singin", and night turned into day
I met a girl who ran away, far as she could from the USA
I asked her why she said, 'Debts I couldn"t pay,
As long as they don"t find me, I"m doing okay'
We climbed trees, we slept on beaches
We told stories of the land and the sea
And for one shining minute when she looked away
I fell in love forever and night turned into day
[Ooohhh ooohhh ooohhhh]
