Waimanalo Blues

Wind's gonna blow, so I'm gonna go

Down on the road again

Starting where the mountains left me

I'm up where I began

Where I will go, the wind only knows

Good times around the bend

Get in my car, goin' too far

Never comin' back again

Tired and worn, I woke up this mornin'

Found that I was confused

Spun right around and found I had lost

The things that I couldn't lose

The beaches they sell to build their hotels

My father's and I once knew

Birds all along sunlight at dawn

Singing Waimanalo blues

Down on the road with mountains so old

Far on the country side

Birds on the wing forget in a while

So I'm headed for the windward side

All of your dreams, sometimes it just seems

That I'm just along for the ride

Some they will cry because they have pride

For someone who's loved here died

The beaches they sell to build their hotels

My father's and I once knew

Birds all along sunlight at dawn

Singing Waimanalo blues
