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
