Taking Islands In Africa - Japan, David Sylvian, Richard Barbieri

Outside there’s a world waiting

I’ll take it all by storm

And when the sunset finds me

I’m coming home

Taking islands in Africa

Watch the slow boat hit and run

Every day the sun beats down

I pull away from shore

The wind blows hard into my sails

Now I know I’m out of touch

And times they could get tough

But I’ll move on so how could I fail?

Taking islands in Africa

Watch the slow boat hit and run

When the evening fires burn

The daylight dead and gone

With you beside me we can run

Outside there’s a world waiting

I’ll take it all by storm

And when the sunset finds me

I’m coming home

Taking islands in Africa

Watch the slow boat hit and run

Every day the sun beats down

I pull away from shore

The wind blows hard into my sails
