Hawaii All the paintings and the sketches laid scattered on the sand And the condominium was close at hand Things were getting hard to follow, I was feeling pretty hollow When a stranger came to me and put out his hand I think we better talk there's something you don't understand About Hawaii Hawaii With my baby and my bicycle I up and rode away And many nights have passed since that morning came my way And I think about him often with his vitamins and kids Does he sleep with half a woman on his mind While the other half just got left behind In Hawaii Hawaii

All my changes were there Blue, blue windows behind the stars Yellow moon on the rise Big birds flying across the sky Throwing shadows on our eyes Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless Baby can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door Baby sing with me somehow Blue, blue windows behind the stars Yellow moon on the rise Big birds flying across the sky Throwing shadows on our eyes Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless Baby can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door Baby sing with me somehow
