Song: 26 Miles Santa Catalina Artist: Four Preps
Twenty- six miles across the sea Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me Santa Catalina, the island of romance
Water all around it everywhere Tropical trees and the salty air But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there-romance
It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away Restin' in the water serene I'd work for anyone, even the Navy Who would float me to my island dream
Twenty- six miles, so near yet far I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar I could leave the wings But I'll need the guitar for romance
Twenty- six miles across the sea Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me Santa Catalina, the island of romance
A tropical heaven out in the ocean Covered with trees and girls If I have to swim, I'll do it forever Till I'm gazin' on those island pearls
Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat Any old thing that'll stay afloat When we arrive we'll all promote romance
Twenty- six miles across the sea Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me Santa Catalina, the island of romance Twenty- six miles across the sea Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me Rebecca Lin 2010 Fall 2012 Winter In USA |
