Cool Breeze - Sailor

I took a trip down to the shores of Tahiti

I met a girl walking along the sand

I never thought for a guy like me, love would come so easy

I said to her that «I want to be your man»

But she turned her head away from me

And told me this could never be

And then she left without telling why

(Chorus):

Cool breeze, cool off my burning heart

And blow away the misty reason that keeps us apart

Cool breeze, blow all my thoughts away

For she’s on my mind by night and by day

I had to know, so I went to her father’s plantation

And there he stood, leaning against the door

I said «Please, won’t you give me some kind of explanation?»

But all he said was «She won’t be here no more

For she’s on the ship that sailed away»

But why she’s gone, he wouldn’t say

I wonder if she’ll ever return

(Repeat chorus)

Cool breeze, cool off my burning heart

And blow away the misty reason that keeps us apart

Cool breeze
