fig tree bay

came to the island to find peace

and seek tranquility

li-li-li-li

started to drive

finding nothing but warmth

at fig tree bay

there's no time

who needs time?

stop the clock at half-past nine

take out some cheese and laze around

one day not sunday

i found us a beach to hide away

whispering waves

shapes in the sand

dream of centuries past

but who can tell

sea shells and dogs' tails surround me now

the sun beats down

give me the strength to speak my mind

all that we have clicking by

for your eyes and mine alone

li-li-li-li

maybe your hey-day

i glanced at the private movie star

brown skin girl

please take us back

to where the sun beats down

give me the time and peace of mind
