Kim Carnes Jamaica Sunday Morning
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson) Jamaica Sunday morning April 1803 Children at the harbor waitin' to see There beyond the breakers Heading into view Sunlight in you sails It was you But paradise is closed today Til' the moon is full and it pulls the tide After all these years love is still alive She still waits on the other side The captain tried to warn the men As he tried to mend the sails But a whim of the wind Was too much for him And he failed And at the same time on the shoreline She was waiting for her captain And she never believed it When they told her what had happened Paradise is closed today Til' the moon is full and it pulls the tide After all these years love is still alive She still waits on the other side Jamaica Sunday morning April 1803 Children at the harbor waitin' to see There beyond the breakers Heading into view Sunlight in you sails It was you
