Tropical Surrender
The amber sun is sinking down
The day is done as evening surrounds
Sounds of the day fade off with the light
The casual surrender to a tropical night
There’s a big ole moon; it’s on the rise
A pale silhouette on a purple sky
Bird wings gently waving a friendly goodbye
See you tomorrow in the bright blue sky
Lights from the shore twinkling white
Waves lullaby is singing good night
The sea is calling; softly calling my name
Shadows fade like spirits floating away
A summer breeze soft on my face
Heaven reveals its twilight embrace
Shooting stars are playing chase all up above
A tropical potion for nature and love
Steel Drums drifting out from the shore
Rhythm of the island’s magical rapport
Breeze in the rigging is tapping out the time
A chorus of enchantment Caribbean style
Fingers of the sea are caressing the hull
Hear an echoing cry from a far away gull
Reflections waver like ghosts on the gentle waves
It’s a prism of nature; a moonlight bouquet
Splendor of the moment sends you on your way
