ISLAND OF WONDER
<<<<<<------>>>>>>
The man
wrinkles his face
But it's already worn
The coffee is sour
And the shirt is torn
But the smile is bigger than the Atlantic sea And it happens to bring out
the Atlantis in me
Island of
wonder
Where do you come from
Is it the way the sun hits my face
Or is it your memory which I cannot trace
Eu vejo mais
ao longe
Pessoas sem fome
Com pés sangrando
Na vereda florida
And the
church bell dongs
A remarkable song
And I swallow the salt
As I hum along
The woman
she laughs as I pass her by
In a patchwork (dream) I left behind
Island of
wonder
Where do you come from
Is it the way the sun
Hits my face
Or is it your memory which I cannot trace
I cannot trace
Look at me
I have so much pride
I took my shoes off I ran I did not hide
Look at me i have so much pride
I will give my dowry for the prize
Island of
wonder
Where are you going
Nobody knows it
But it is snowing
In the hearts and minds of every kind of universe
Every kind of universe |
