Woman In The Waves Lyrics - Singles - Michael Franks

When I was a boy of twenty-two 

I stood before a statue 

Was it you? 

They shake the fruit when they dance 

You should try some when you have the chance. 

Her face had no power to deceive 

She wore her beauty shamelessly 

Like Eve. 

Guavas can be bittersweet 

But the mango's always good to eat, 

Love has complicated my past. 

God nows I left no stone unturned. 

Now I realize that at last 

I've found her again. 

She understands how the blue water behaves. 

Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves. 

My eyes could travel her beauty for always. 

Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves. 

I know that my life has led me here 

To where the dolphin jumps 

And the sky's clear. 

Here we live without locked doors 

Share and share alike- what's mine is yours. 

I see invitation in your smile 

To celebrate our passions 

Without guile. 

In the noa noa night 

Nave nave's a familiar sight. 

I am avare of her fragrance 

Even when she disappears.
