Between the Sunset and the Coconut Palms

Listen for the boatman's call We're casting off as evening falls Creeping through the harbour lights Entering the night Tattered posters on the pier With laughing clowns and cavaliers Faded smiles that drift away And never shed a tear We're heading out of sight Beyond the walls of wrong and right Desperate dreamers on the seas Renegades and refugees The whistling wind the rising swell We heard six bells and all was well Accordions sway beneath the lamps Drunk on contraband A cosy magic eiderdown We can't wake up we've run aground Unchartered lands we're lost at sea Washed up and cast away We're heading out of sight Beyond the walls of wrong and right Desperate dreamers on the seas Renegades and refugees
