Lyrics: When tides at ease on the evening breeze And the scarlet moon starts its gentle rise The drowsy whale spouts a misty trail, And the stars gather slowly in the skies These are the times when I know How alone one can be And I yearn to go once again Back to my girl down in Port of Spain On some distant shore as I walk the sand, And watch the lovers meet, They stand in the moonlight hand in hand, With the surf breaking over their feet. These are the times when I know How alone one can be And I yearn to go once again Back to my girl down in Port of Spain In Mandalay at a gay cafe In the wee little hours of morn, When guitars and violins end their play With a hymn to the goddess of dawn These are the times when I know How alone one can be And I yearn to go once again Back to my girl down in Port of Spain |
