One Particular Harbour
Jimmy Buffett
Chorus Ya Ra, Te Natura Me Aroja, Te A Ne 2x
I know I don’t get there often enough, but God knows I surely try
It’s a magic kind of medicine, that no doctor could prescribe
I used to rule my world from a pay phone, ships out on the sea
But now times are rough, and I got too much stuff, can’t explain likes of me
But there’s this one particular harbour, so far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away, And finally disappear
Bridge
But now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days I was so bad
Laughin’ about all the fun we had
I seen enough to feel the world spin
Mixin’ different oceans meetin’ cousins
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
Listen to the singers make the world go ‘round
Instrumental
Repeat Chorus 2x
Lakes below the mountain, flow into the sea
Like oils applied to canvas, they permeate through me
And there’s that one particular harbour, sheltered from the wind
Where the children play, on the shore each day, and all are safe within
Most mysterious calling harbour, so far but yet so near
I can see the day when my hair’s full gray, and I finally disappear
Repeat Chorus 1x (Vocal & Drum Only)
Repeat Chorus 1x (Add Tambourine)
Repeat Chorus 5x (All Instruments)
