Jamaica Sunday Morning Lyrics - Kim Carnes

Jamaica Sunday morning, April 1803 

Children at the harbor waitin' to see 

There beyond the breakers heading into view 

Sunlight in your sails, it was you 

But paradise is closed today 

Till the moon is full and it pulls the tide 

After all these years, love is still alive 

She still waits on the other side 

The captain tried to warn the men 

As he tried to mend the sails 

But a whim of the wind was too much for him 

And he failed 

And at the same time, on the shoreline 

She was waiting for her captain 

And she never believed it 

When they told her what had happened 

Paradise is closed today 

Till the moon is full and it pulls the tide 

After all these years, love is still alive 

She still waits on the other side 

Jamaica Sunday morning, April 1803 

Children at the harbor waitin' to see 

There beyond the breakers heading into view 

Sunlight in your sails, it was you
