I got on a boat on a hot sunny day To get out of this town Coz the Tarmac was melting And the people seem to sway Stuck in the underground To the islands the black kites the wishing tree I want to be with you On a slow boat to Lan Tao, the misty seas I want to be with you I crawled out the harbour with recession behind And I'm feeling the love of you So you better get a charge till I see you again You'll know just what to do If you're caught up in the gales on the junk boat seas I want to be with you With the pilgrims, the mountain, the high trapeze I want to be with you If you're the landlord, the social on BST I wanna be with you On an island with red kites and verdant seas I will be there with you
