Lirama

The copper shades you wore
Were very big and green
And I was only feather-light
Above the engine-roar
In the smell of gasoline
You'd make sure I'd hold on tight

refrain:
And there we'd go with no direction
Anywhere the wind would blow
And I would ask you all these questions
While your pride of me would show

Then in an act of love
You'd pull me close and check
My orange-colored water wings
You'd turn the engine off
And somewhere from the back
We'd both jump in for a swim

refrain

And safe in your calypso
With the world of wise cousteau below
And ice cream castles overhead
Now how was I to know
How was I to know

A towel round my chest
Your copper shades back on
We would speed up fast
And dry up by the sun
