Taking Islands In Africa Lyrics - Gentlemen Take Polaroids - Japan

Taking islands in Africa 

Watch the slow boat hit and run 

Outside there's a world waiting 

I'll take it all by storm 

And when the sunset finds me 

I'm coming home 

Taking islands in Africa 

Watch the slow boat hit and run 

Every day the sun beats down 

I pull away from shore 

The wind blows hard into my sails 

Now I know I'm out of touch 

And times they could get tough 

But I'll move on so how could I fail? 

Taking islands in Africa 

Watch the slow boat hit and run 

When the evening fires burn 

The daylight dead and gone 

With you beside me we can run 

Outside there's a world waiting 

I'll take it all by storm 

And when the sunset finds me 

I'm coming home 

Taking islands in Africa 

Watch the slow boat hit and run 

Every day the sun beats down 

I pull away from shore 

The wind blows hard into my sails...
