Lyrics
A thin haggard figure moves to the beat
Dances in surf shuffles his feet
A precious small radio held to his chest
Plays a song for the girl he loves best
Some say he's from Haiti where dictators' wars
Made him flee in a boat to Florida's shores
The love of his life he left in tears
But promised to send for her in one or two years
Why do you dance? What makes you sway?
What keeps you on the beach where you stay?
Will you live where you sleep in the dunes every night
Till the sea takes you back to the love of your life
He started working saving his pay
So he could afford to pay her way
But a fall from a roof with a steep steep slope
Broke his poor body dashed all his hope
No work to find though he searched far & wide
The savings dried up He couldn't send for his bride
But his spirit was strong and he learned to survive
The beach that he loved would keep him alive
Why do you dance? What makes you sway?
What keeps you on the beach where you stay?
Will you live where you sleep in the dunes every night
Till the sea takes you back to the love of your life
In ragged old clothes he wears all the time
Just keeps to himself never asks for a dime
His hands are crippled possessions are few
But he's happy with life and his oceanfront view
The radio plays a song from home
Makes him think of his lover dancing in foam
Across the Caribbean on the other side
Under the sun in the outgoing tide
Why do you dance? What makes you sway?
What keeps you on the beach where you stay?
Will you live where you sleep in the dunes every night
Till the sea takes you back to the love of your life
Till the sea takes you back to your love
