- Taking Islands In Africa Lyrics / with translationsTaking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and 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
Everyday 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 move on so I cannot 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
Taking islands in Africa
Just watch the slow boat hit and run
Everyday the sun beats down
I'll pull away from shore
The wind blows hard into my sails
Watch the slow boat hit and 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
Everyday 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 move on so I cannot fail
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
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
Taking islands in Africa
Just watch the slow boat hit and run
Everyday the sun beats down
I'll pull away from shore
The wind blows hard into my sails
