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
