lyrics

We're gonna get a sunny hideaway
Down on Spanish Island
Me and the missus gonna make our play
Down on Spanish Island

No one likes you
No one cares what you say
There's just something unattractive
Old age as affliction
So cliché

On the highway
No one stays in their lane
Unsafe random fluctuations
Insane, so I

Dig on the mango and the sweet plantain
Down on Spanish Island
Groovy hacienda in the Port of Spain
Down on Spanish Island

On the fairway
Everyone looks the same
There's just a quiet desperation, a cost
This seclusion for the lost

Drinks at six
Get a load of the time
Better hit the bricks
We stumble down the avenue
Fading away within our gated Xanadu
Our bodies creak and all our dreams have come unglued
Without a clue
Always me and you

Skinny dipping
Baby's still got an ass
Sit tight till we're sure the moment is right

I miss our steamy rendezvous
Where is that dashing don that fresh-faced ingénue
For now an island in the sun will have to do
Some greens and blues
Holding on to you

We're gonna get a sunny hideaway
Down on Spanish Island
Me and the missus gonna make our play
Down on Spanish Island

about

Eric & The Wabe Phoenix, Arizona

I started writing songs in 1969 and continued until 1987, when I got married and had kids. In 2008 I returned to music and started writing songs and collaborating with musicians across the Web, most notably Amos Clarke, Alex Klidaras, and John Tabacco. I owe a debt of gratitude to them and to the many other musicians who have kindly provided me with tracks and encouragement since then. ... more
