These Are the Times Lyrics
When tides at ease on the evening breeze
And the scarlet moon starts its gentle rise
The drowsy whale spouts a misty trail,
And the stars gather slowly in the skies
These are the times when I know
How alone one can be
And I yearn to go once again
Back to my girl down in Port of Spain
On some distant shore as I walk the sand,
And watch the lovers meet,
They stand in the moonlight hand in hand,
With the surf breaking over their feet.
These are the times when I know
How alone one can be
And I yearn to go once again
Back to my girl down in Port of Spain
In Mandalay at a gay cafe
In the wee little hours of morn,
When guitars and violins end their play
With a hymn to the goddess of dawn
These are the times when I know
How alone one can be
And I yearn to go once again
Back to my girl down in Port of Spain
And the scarlet moon starts its gentle rise
The drowsy whale spouts a misty trail,
And the stars gather slowly in the skies
How alone one can be
And I yearn to go once again
Back to my girl down in Port of Spain
And watch the lovers meet,
They stand in the moonlight hand in hand,
With the surf breaking over their feet.
How alone one can be
And I yearn to go once again
Back to my girl down in Port of Spain
In the wee little hours of morn,
When guitars and violins end their play
With a hymn to the goddess of dawn
How alone one can be
And I yearn to go once again
Back to my girl down in Port of Spain
