Intro

        
        

Verse 1

My garden is filled with papayas and mangos
My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos
Taste for the good life, I can't live it no other way
While out on the beach there are two empty chairs
That say more than the people who ever sit there
From under my lone palm I can look out on the day

Chorus

Where no bird flies by my window
No ship is tied to my tree
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
Ride if you will, ride it with me

Interlude

        

Verse 2

I knew this girl made memories and phrases
Who lived her whole life in both chapters and stages
Danced 'till the dawn, wished all her worries away
Well she wasn't crazy, no she wasn't mad
She just wanted the father that she never had
From under my lone palm I think about her today

Chorus

Where no bird flies by my window
No ship is tied to my tree
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
Ride if you will, ride it with me

Interlude

  
  
   
  
  
   

Bridge

We sailed from the port of indecision
Young and wild with oh so much to learn
Days turn into years as we tried to fool our fears
But to the port of indecision I returned

Verse 3

My gardens are filled with papayas and mangos
My life is a mixture of jingles and jangles
Come Christmas winds and blow all my worries away

Chorus

Where no bird flies by my window
No ship is tied to my tree
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
Ride if you will, ride it with me
Sing if you will, Sing to the sea

Outro

Where no bird flies by my window
No ship is tied to my tree
