Indian Ocean Lyrics - Cat Stevens

It was a cold day in London 

Dark clouds rumbling 

Grabbed the yellow pages under the bed 

I noticed an ad, it said 

 

'Indian summer', '10 days of wonder' 

'Paradise is yours for £50' 

I thought to myself that's it 

 

Told the wife to pack the bag 

Forget about the plans we had 

We're going east instead 

She looked at me and shakes her head 

 

I said, "Oh now, baby 

I know it sounds crazy 

But this may be the only chance we get 

We only get one life to live"

So we grabbed the kids 

And some body lotion 

And we went to the middle of the 

Indian Ocean 

 

Our guide was there to meet us 

'Welcome' sign to greet us 

Ten porters stood up like a wall 

Carried our bags to the hall 

 

The custom man smiled to me 

Begs so politely 

"Tell me, sir, have you any more?" 

I looked at him and said, "That's all" 

 

They drove us to the beach house 

I said, "Is this all ours?" 

They nodded and rolled out the bed 

I turned to my wife and said 

 

Photos 

 

"Ooh now honey, I guess it's still sunny 

Let's all go down for a dip 

Before the sun sets" 

 

Suddenly I gazed up 

Upon the rising wave 

I saw the sea drawn from the sand 

I grabbed the wife and kids and ran 

 

"Please God, save us 

Please don't blame us 

For this is the only life we have 

We'll make it up if we were bad" 

 

The wave was a-pounding as we 

Scrambled up the mountain 

No one even dared to turn their head 

Just one slip and you're dead 

 

As the waves were dying 

A child was crying 

Searching for her mum and dad 

A thin dress was all she had 

 

She held us tight 

We looked far and wide 

But nothing there 

There was nothing left 

We all broke down and wept 

 

Then came the morning 

A new year was born 

The girl had been with us all night 

My wife looked down at her and sighed 

 

"Oh my darling, it's suddenly dawning 

But just take a look at those eyes 

She must be paradise"
