Lyrics: Roma Ryan |
Orinoco Flow
Let me sail, let me sail,
let the Orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach
on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail,
let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach
far beyond the Yellow Sea.
da da, da da, da da, da da, da da
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
da da, da da, da da, da da, da da
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu
sail away...
from the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum,
from the deep sea of Clouds
to the island of the moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.
we can sail, we can sail,
with the Orinoco flow,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can steer,
we can near
with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can reach,
we can beach
on the shores of Tripoli
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can reach, we can beach
far beyond the Yellow Sea.
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away
we can sail, we can sail,
sail away, sail away, sail away...

Roma Ryan's notes to the song, taken from Only Time-The Collection:
Athough it was the last track recorded for the album "Watermark" it was the firts track to be released, and with great success. There was a sense of discovery in the creating of this firts album, a sense of beginning, a sense of something new and exciting. "Orinoco Flow" reflects the feeling of that time for us - adventure! |
