Long Way From Home - Oi Va Voi

The stars in the southern skies dance in her eyes so sincere

The watery moon starts to rise and to croon to the spheres

The sandy wind kisses your cheeks and she wishes you well

You’re wondering when you might be here again under her spell

Your penchant for fun seems to roll off the tongue like a dream

The night is still young there’s still time for fun before you leave

Under the palm trees you’re weak at the knees from the way she stares at you

Those exotic eyes completely mesmerise you

You knew all along that as soon as you’d gone there’d be tears

Your eyes are a blur as the memory of her perseveres

On and on in your mind you’re repeating the line that she whispered in your ears

I can’t let you go without a little souvenir

Now that you’re gone

You feel so alone

You’re empty handed and you’re stranded such a long long way from home

A long way from home you continue to roam and explore

If things go to plan you’ll see many a land from Brazil to Ecuador

When she asks ‘do you miss me' your eyes go all misty

Your heart is tied in knots

But it’ll unravel the further you travel and all we be forgot

Now that you’re gone

You feel so alone

You’re empty handed and you’re stranded such a long long way from home
