One particular harbour

By: jimmy buffett, bobby holcomb

1983
4
For marius skatelborough
5
Ia ora te natura
6
E mea arofa teie ao nei
7
Ia ora te natura
8
E mea arofa teie ao nei
9
I know I don't get there often enough
10
But God knows I surely try
11
It's a magic kind of medicine
12
That no doctor could prescribe
13
I used to rule my world from a pay phone
14
Ships out on the sea
15
But now times are rough
16
And I got too much stuff
17
Can't explain likes of me
18
Chorus:
19
But there's this one particular harbour
20
So far but yet so near
21
Where I see the days as they fade away
22
And finally disappear
23
But now I think about the good times
24
Down in the caribbean sunshine
25
In my younger days I was so bad
26
Laughin' about all the fun we had
27
I seen enough to feel the world spin
28
Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
29
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
30
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round
31
(pan solo)
32
Ia ora te natura
33
E mea arofa teie ao nei
34
Ia ora te natura
35
E mea arofa teie ao nei
36
Lakes below the mountain
37
Flow into the sea
38
Like oils applied to canvas
39
They permeate through me
40
And there's that one particular harbour
41
Sheltered from the wind
42
Where the children play on the shore each day
43
And all are safe within
44
Most mysterious calling harbour
45
So far but yet so near
46
I can see the day when my hair's full gray
47
And I finally disappear
48
Ia ora te natura
49
E mea arofa teie ao nei
50
Ia ora te natura
51
E mea arofa teie ao nei
52
Ia ora te natura
53
E mea arofa teie ao nei
54
Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
55
E mea arofa teie ao nei
56
Ia ora te natura
57
E mea arofa teie ao nei
58
Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
59
E mea arofa teie ao nei, hey now, hey now, hey now
60
Ia ora te natura
61
E mea arofa teie ao nei
62
Ua pau te maitai no te fenua [bounty of the land is exhausted]
63
Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie [but there's still abundance in the sea]
64
Ua pau te maitai no te fenua
65
Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie
66
