sweet wind blowing off the bay

sweeping the heat of the day away

making the leaves of the palm trees sway

down here tonight everything's okay



net's coming in and the anchor's down

hour of darkness comes around

stars dust the sky and the lights go on

soon tonight will be filled with song



pans gonna play and the fire burn bright

talking drums say everything's all right

beating of the sea sends a message

to the far starlight

"we're doing okay down here tonight"



the end of the road's still far away

but the travelling's better by the light of day

this hour of darkness is the time to dance

lay down your burdens -- give the beat a chance



pans gonna play and the fire burn bright

talking drums say everything's all right

beating of the sea sends a message

to the far starlight

"we're doing okay down here tonight"
