Woman In The Waves lyrics

Artist  : Michael Franks 
Song : Woman In The Waves
 
When I was a boy of twenty-two
I stood before
a statue
Was it you?
They shake the
fruit when they dance
You should try some
when you have the chance.
Her face had no
power to deceive
She wore her beauty
shamelessly
Like Eve.
Guavas can be
bittersweet
But the mango's always good to
eat,
Love has complicated my past.
God
nows I left no stone unturned.
Now I realize
that at last
I've found her again.
  She
understands how the blue water behaves.
 
Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves.
 
My eyes could travel her beauty for always.
 
Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves.
I
know that my life has led me here
To where
the dolphin jumps
And the sky's clear.
Here we live without locked doors
Share
and share alike- what's mine is yours.
I see
invitation in your smile
To celebrate our
passions
Without guile.
In the noa noa
night
Nave nave's a familiar sight.
I
am avare of her fragrance
Even when she
disappears.
