Lyrics
MOUNTAINSIDES OF TORTOLA
Copyright © 2005 Dave Kaufman, all rights reserved
Verse 1:
How can you describe
The rainbows as they touch the mountainsides of Tortola
Of Tortola, of Tortola
Verse 2:
How can you describe
The shadows of the clouds falling on the mountainsides of Tortola
Of Tortola, of Tortola
Chorus:
It?s like the smile of the little girl coming home from school
The gleam in the eye of the old man walking his precious hills
It?s the relief of the skipper who?s tied up his boat beating the storm to port
It?s the rooster crowing to greet another beautiful day
La la la?
(Instrumental Break)
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3:
How can you describe
The whisper of the winds as they cross the mountainsides of Tortola
Of Tortola, of Tortola
Verse 4:
And how can you describe
The lights at night as they dot the mountainsides of Tortola
Of Tortola, of Tortola
(Repeat Chorus and fade)
