cold coconut juice
and fried flying fish
by the sea
a shared kiss
then a sigh
as we
delicately
delve into extasy
on my carribean paradise
a sun kissed afternoon
very little humidity
lazily
holding hands
you and me
strolling the beach and watching
the fisherman cast their nets
the angle of a sun ray reflects
in your beautiful brown eyes
on my carribean paradise
leaving the world
and its stress behind
a gentle caress
of your body
then a touch of dark rum
with a slice of lime
ignoring the time
on my carribean paradise
the cruise ship departs
and we are castaways
listening to the ocean echos
in walkers cay
here in barbados
my island by the sea
a perfect getaway
deciding to stay
on my carribean paradise
strumming our fingers
as calypso music plays
feeling the ocean spray
as we embrace
you quietly hum
i kiss your lips
flavored slightly with a hint
of mt gay rum
on my carribean paradise
sweet cassava
buying ackee by the pound
waving and greeting the local men
they are so suave and gentlemanly
just like your dee
the local women so regal
in bearing
smile as if they know
the secret we are sharing
we stop and converse with them
on my carribean paradise
soon the sun
will set on the carribean
do you recall
when we first met in cannes
when i locked eyes on you
my heart raced
like it was on the autobahn
no speed restrictions
as the friction
of our love making sent us away
and now here we are
making love in a cay
on my carribean paradise
in the hotel bar
an impromptu mambo
byron lee
and the mighty sparrow
sing to miss mary ann
i hold your hand
and we dance through the night
on my carribean paradise
two castaways
spending day after day
making sweet love
thanking the creator above
as we watch the sunrise
i kiss the happy tears
in your eyes
ready to begin another day
on my carribean paradise
