I got on a boat on a hot sunny day
To get out of this town,
‘Cause the tarmac was melting, and the people seem to sway
Stuck in the underground.
To the islands, the black kites, the wishing tree,
I wanna be with you.
On a slow boat to Lantao, the misty seas,
I wanna be with you
I crawled out the harbour with recession behind,
And I'm feeling the love of you,
So you better get a charge till I see you again,
You'll know just what to do.
If you're caught up in the gales on the junk boat seas,
I wanna be with you.
With the pilgrims, the mountain, the high trapeze,
I wanna be with you.
If you're a landlord, the social on BST,
I wanna be with you.
On an island with red kites and verdant seas,
I will be there with you, oh!
