I got on a boat on a hot sunny day
To get out of this town
'cause the tarmac was melting and
the people seemed to sway
Stuck in the underground
Chorus:
To the isle of the black kites
and the wishing tree
I wanna be with you
On the slow boat to Lantau through misty seas
I wanna be with you
I crawled out the harbour with recession behind
And now I'm feeling the love of you
So you better get a charge 'til I see you again
You'll know just what to do
Chorus:
If you're caught up in the gales
on the junk boat seas
I wanna be with you
With the pilgrims, the mountain,
the High Trappist
I wanna be with you
If you're the landlord, the social on BST
I wanna be with you
On an island with red kites and verdant seas
I will be there with you, oh
