Hawaiian Blue Song

A bouquet of orchids drifts in through the louvres And falls on the covers where I lie alone And all the birds on Oahu are singing along As the sun goes down on this Hawaiian blue song As she dressed in the smoke of our last cigarette The waves from the radio broke off your silhouette And all the birds on Oahu are singing along As the clouds shift slightly on this Hawaiian blue song Then night after night in the shadows I see a faint light Over the beach, across the dark sand Time after time as the wind shifts And just out of sight Still out of reach a deft sleight of hands The palmistry is trusting the moon and the stars The piano is rusting at the end of the bar And all the birds on Oahu are playing along As the sun sets nightly in this Hawaiian blue song
