Don't let the tide come and take me Don't let the tide come and wash us away So don't let the tide come and take me Oh no, get ready I just want a safe place to hide us away Far from with you, where I wanna stay Stay close, hold steady I feel it coming,

I bless the rains down in Africa It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only

Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh won't you please take me home So far away Take me home, yeah yeah Take me home (oh won't you please take me home) Take me home Just a urchin livin' under the street

We'll escape So why don't you come away With me my love We'll do what it takes I'll keep you safe Why don't you stay by me And when the time comes Oh, come away with me Every few thousand years

Closer to you Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Cowboy take me away I said, I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly Oh,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.......... Someone take my heart away I don't think I can stand the pain I never want to love again Do it soon without delay To love again..... Look through these eyes And tell me if you see What in the world it is that's wrong with me

I bless the rains down in Africa It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only

Oh I'm far away from home Oh it's a fool's lullaby I'm so alone Far away from home I gave you all The best years of my life Baby, take another chance And give it one more try

All we gotta do is, listen Imagine it, anywhere More than miles I'll take you there Know one day from the sky, we'll be as one Now here we are Let's hit the road And away we go

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no And I know you know how, yeah It's taken forever to get me off the ground Oh, shine down But I still believe in immortal love Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it So tired sleeping through the day
