Taking Islands in Africa Japan

[Verse 1]
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run

[Chorus]
Outside there's a world waiting
I'll take it all by storm
And when the sunset finds me
I'm coming home

[Verse 2]
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
Every day the sun beats down
I pull away from shore
The wind blows hard into my sails

[Verse 3]
Now I know I'm out of touch
And times they could get tough
But I'll move on so how could I fail?

[Verse 4]
Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run
When the evening fires burn
The daylight dead and gone
With you beside me we can run
