Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
Ramadan is over, | |
The new moon's shown her face, | |
I'm halfway round the planet, | |
In a most unlikely place. | |
Following my song line | |
Past bamboo shacks and shops | |
Behind a jitney packed like sardines, | |
With bananas piled on top. | |
I ran away from politics, | |
It's too bizarre at home. | |
Away I flew, tuned into Blue | |
'Maybe Amsterdam or Rome' | |
Awakened by a stewardess, | |
With Spain somewhere below. | |
On the threshold of adventure, | |
God I do love this job so. | |
So while I make my move | |
On the big board game | |
Up and down a Spanish highway, | |
Some things remain the same. | |
Girls meet boys | |
and the boys tease girls | |
I'm heading out this morning, | |
For the Far Side of the World. | |
Oh I believe in song lines | |
Obvious and not | |
I'd ridden them like camels | |
To some most peculiar spots. | |
They run across the oceans | |
Through mountains and saloons | |
And tonight out to the dessert | |
Where I sit atop this dune. | |
I was destined for this vantage point | |
Which is so far from the Sea | |
I've lived it in the pages of Saint-Exupery | |
From Paris to Tunisia | |
Casablanca to Dakar | |
I was riding long before I flew | |
Through the wind and sand and stars. | |
Caravan | |
Ride that hump | |
And Timbuktu's a jillion bumps | |
Sleeping bags and battle flags | |
Are coiled and furled | |
That's the way you travel | |
To the far side of the world! | |
A Sunset framed by lightening bolts | |
Burns a lasting memory | |
And a string of tiny twinkling lights | |
adorn the sausage tree. | |
While the embers from the log fire | |
Flicker, fly, and twirl | |
Then drift off toward the cosmos | |
From the Far Side of the World. | |
Well it's Christmas and my birthday | |
and so to that extent | |
The Masai not the wise men | |
Are circling my tent. | |
I teach them how to play guitar | |
They show me how to dance | |
We have rum from the Caribbean | |
And Burgundy from France. | |
New Year's Eve in Zanzibar | |
With Babu and his boys | |
High up on the rooftop | |
You can relish all the noise. | |
They are dancing on the tables | |
People bouncing like gazelles | |
Two 0-0-1 is ushered in | |
With air raid horns and bells. | |
Time to sing time to dance | |
Living out my second chance. | |
Cobras and sleeping bags are coiled and curled | |
That's the way it happens | |
On the Far Side of the World. | |
Back at home, it's afternoon | |
Six thousand miles away. | |
I will still be there when I get through | |
Attending this soiree | |
There are jobs and chores and questions | |
And plates I need to twirl, | |
But tonight I'll take my chances, | |
On the Far Side of the World. | |
That's the way it happens | |
On the Far Side of the World. |
