Big Day Lyrics - Diamond Head - Phil Manzanera

Eno-Manzanera 

Taking our time before it's through 

Passing our days in old shoes 

Sister - think I'm returning to Peru 

Wish that I never came here 

They can't pronounce my name here 

Everyone asks me, "where's Peru?" 

In Peru we've lengthened the day 

In Peru we've strengthened the dollar 

There are mountains piercing our skies 

And the ocean at our shores 

I will save up all of my wages 

Even retail crumby cosmetics 

I will work my passage in stages 

As the winter slips away 

Miles of golden beaches 

In Peru we've lengthened the day 

In Peru we've strengthened the dollar 

There are mountains piercing our skies 

And the ocean at our shores 

I will save up all of my wages 

Even retail crumby cosmetics 

I will work my passage in stages 

As the winter slips away 

Miles of golden beaches
