- lyrics:This tea's too strong for me
- As I await yoir companyI had too much sun todayOcean waters wash away
- Nothing but the presentPresenting its presence
- This island lifeSeparate my right from my wrong
- No I am not paganbut my heart has been forsakenAnd the hand of God was on my mind
- It took some time from time to timeNow in the course I knowTime itself will go when
- (chorus)
- You forgot your shoes and II have sent a message but IThere's so many stars in the sky
- It's the truths that will not lieThere's a young wild native maidenRunning mad and barefoot to the sea until
- (chorus)
- This island lifeFinally separates my right from my wrong
- (guitar solo)This tea's too strong for me
- As I await more companyI had too much sun todayDream of lands lying far away
- Pregnant with the presentPresenting its presents
- This island lifeSeparate my right from my wrongThis island life
- Will separate my rights from my songsSeparate my right from wrong
- (electric sitar outro)
