Lyrics:
On the island, we do it island style,
From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side.
On the island, we do it island style,
On the island, we do it island style,
From the mountain to the ocean from the windward to the leeward side.
On the island, we do it island style,
wishin' he would hurry up and strike, strike the bell
Strike the bell, second mate, let us go below
Look well to windward you can see it's going to blow
Meet me on the Windward side my love
Where the mountains meet the sea is where I'll be
Meet me on the Windward side my love
Where the stars are
the picture we made
Windward blue sailor
on colours we rise
I know how to get through summer
Till water comes to cover our goodbyes…
Captains
the land I love the best
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave
Well,
the best
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave
Well, she tore their boats
the best
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave
Well, she tore their boats
the land I love the best
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave
Well,
the morning
Roll him over and drive him windward
Roll him over and drive him windward
Roll him over and drive him windward
Early in the morning
Way hey and up
to windward
This life is just a frayed end
Spirit escaping
Trying to work out what it meant
Those basements and cables remain
But the dream is already gone
that feeds from defeats
A jackal that celebrates from your grief
Beating to windward upstream
Into the desperation's regime
To the land of the chosen
tears and sweat and blood for fun from windward to the lee
Roll and go ride forget ride
Shed tears and sweat and blood for fun from windward to the lee
Little steps, on the way
From windward to lee, windward to lee,
And when I get that way
I tell myself that it’s OK to be there
And when that while has
one more time
I would sneak away with you
For stormy kisses on the windward side
And I'd go back just to press pause
Stop it at my favorite part then
On a heart-torn avenue
On some windward highway
She comes swingin' my way
All I wanna do is lose my way somehow
I forget how
Now I pummel down the sidewalk
Eating
to windward and a lofty ship to lee,
A-sailing down all on the coasts of High Barbaree.
O are you a pirate or a man o'war ? cried we
Blow high ! Blow low !
country in that land I love the best.
In the misty glitter of that wild and windward spray,
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.
a stem, where it used to wave
With a windward soft and low
It's only a flower white and so fair
That she used to love so well
Sweet were the perfume that
country in that land I love the best.
In the misty glitter of that wild and windward spray,
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.
Holding on a windward course.
Strip me from the bundle
Of balloons at every fair:
Colourful and carefree
Designed to make you stare.
But I'm lost
headed for the windward side
All of your dreams, sometimes it just seems
That I'm just along for the ride
Some they will cry because they have pride
For
Black child, born Jamaica
Crossed the ocean on a wind-ward sailboat
Twisted guitar he's a got an' a gangster
Rude boy from the trench-town streets
country, in the land that I love best
In the misty crystal glitter of the wild and windward spray
I fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave
