La Gonave, I see your mist,
La Gonave, well, I know you're kissed by the same sea of trouble that stretches back home,
La Gonave, you've got troubles of your own.

Yes, I got troubles; won't you come on and see'
I got my needs, just follow me,
But they gonna ease by and by, if you tell all the people that it's no lie.

I only came for forty-eight hours,
Didn't realise how useless I was,
Came to you, mother nation, selfless,
Lord knows, but I still feel helpless.

La Gonave, I don't feel good,
La Gonave, do you think I should turn my back and walk away'
La Gonave, tell me what to say.

When I get home, would you telephone me'
I'm situated across the sea, but it's a small world from any point of view,
Spare a thought, this could have been you.

You shook my senses, took my time,
Froze my feelings, broke my mind,
La Gonave, you played your part,
La Gonave, you stole my heart.

Didn't leave my heart in San Francisco,
Didn't want to stay in Omaha,
Never got fooled by New York City, but I lost my heart to La Gonave.

Didn't leave my heart in San Francisco,
Didn't want to stay in Omaha,
Never got fooled by New York City, but I lost my heart to La Gonave.

Didn't leave my heart in San Francisco,
Didn't want to stay in Omaha,
Never got fooled by New York City, but I lost my heart to La Gonave.
