Okinawan Dreaming (First One) Lyrics

In the shade of the palm trees, I drift away

To the rhythm of the ocean where I long to stay, yeah

I hear the whispers of the wind and the summer breeze

And the gentle lullaby of the oaken now unseen

Ooh yeah, take me back to my final home

Where the mountains meet the ocean foam

I'm longing for the place I used to know

Walk in the wild green and let the feelings flow, ooh yeah

Underneath the stories tell, my spirit dances free

With the echoes of the shamis and so sweet and melancholy

Send the salt and hide this, cause it fills the air

In every corner of my heart, I find you there, yeah

Golden lanterns light the way back to my past, back to my past

Every memory a treasure built to last, built to last

In the warmth of the sun, my worries melt away, melt away

In this silent paradise, I wish to stay, wish to stay

Take me back to my island home

Where the sun sets, paint the sky in tones of chrome

Dancing shadows in the night, I'm not alone

Walking, knowing, dreaming, this heart has grown

As the city lights flicker a world away

My oaken knowing soul yearns for the bay

The vibrant life, the music in the streets

A melody of home where my heart beats

Take me back to my island home

Feel the energy in the song

Where every wink tells a story of its own

Oaken knowing, dreaming, in my bones

In the sway of the palm trees, we'll meet again

To the rhythm of the ocean, familiar refrain

With every beat, my island heart sings
