Peter And The Wolf - A Race Around The Earth lyrics

Out on the island The natives taught me About their strange god Their carver? rituals And they showed me their mellow music I felt so different, but kinda the same I had no time I had to go, had to finish My race around the earth And for one shining minute Well, all was okay They had this way of singing And night turned into day I met a girl who ran away Far as she could from the USA I asked her, "Why?" She said "Debts I couldn't pay, As long as they don't find me, I'm doing okay." We climbed trees, we slept on beaches We told stories of the land and the sea And for one shining minute, When she looked away, I fell in love forever And night turned into day
