LYRICS
CARIBBEAN BLUES
Rick Lally Copyright 1987
Well I'm making my way to the coast of Caribbean
waters that have seen the shifting of continents.
The tropic of cancer is rising before me
and at 90 degrees, what do I see?
Caribbean blues are shinin' on me
I'll run through the ruins chasing the Mayan kings
they'll tell me what has been and I tell them what could be.
It's a longitude attitude, a place for discovery.
Then my soul fly’s to sea
now how can it be Caribbean blues are shinin' on me
A tale of the ocean is rippling in the tide
the currents run deep as the water moves by.
and across the sea is a pattern of blue
come along with me. now what do you see
Caribbean blues are shinin' on me.
blue, blue, blue,
blue, blue, blue,
blue, blue, blue, Caribbean Blue.
