A Slow Drink Humming

A slow drink humming The golden sunshine over a sea so calm all crystal blue A white flying seagull soaring higher than a helium balloon I smoke a cigarette as the face of the moon came into my view A long tall drink of a cocktail made with some whisky and a little Caribbean juice This boat comes chugging into the harbour and I start a humming as the palm trees blew My beautiful woman sitting on the sand looking to see the sun setting over the rocks past the orange wavy dunes I can’t stop humming to the sound of the water and the visions of the colours in my perfect hue A fire is burning on the beach and the food is served up to everyone as they get drunk on the day that they once knew I’m a man just sitting here watching as the world keeps on turning so I’ll guess I’ll keep drinking and a humming till the morning comes again a shining through?
