Ken Flagg - Zanzibar lyrics



when i was a child i used to dream about a faraway land
with palm tress and oceans of blue
and sometimes i'd get upset when things werent't going well with you
and i'd stare out of the window, down at all the people going about their business on the street
and pick out a nice little pale-faced girl
with dark hair and a mysterious past
that i'd like to meet
and say

there you are, zanzibar

but i wouldn't actually say anthing
i'd just sit there feeling nostalgic and sad
and longing for the things i couldn't put my finger on
but was sure were much better than anything i'd ever had
you words were like waves in the distance
lapping against the shores of my discontent
you said something about living in the present
but i had no idea what you meant
i just kept looking at that girl and saying

there you are, zanzibar

this morning i realized you were the only thing i'd ever really need
of course you were already gone
i thought of your words, wished i'd paid them heed
the girl from the street was in my bed
all the mystery had washed right out of her face
and i stared at your picture on my nightstand
and your eyes were as blue and your smile as bright as the sea and the sky in that place
so far away

there you are, zanzibar
