  • One particular harbour
  • By: jimmy buffett, bobby holcomb
  • 1983
  • For marius skatelborough
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • I know i don't get there often enough
  • But god knows i surely try
  • It's a magic kind of medicine
  • That no doctor could prescribe
  • I used to rule my world from a pay phone
  • Ships out on the sea
  • But now times are rough
  • And i got too much stuff
  • Can't explain likes of me
  • Chorus:
  • But there's this one particular harbour
  • So far but yet so near
  • Where i see the days as they fade away
  • And finally disappear
  • But now i think about the good times
  • Down in the caribbean sunshine
  • In my younger days i was so bad
  • Laughin' about all the fun we had
  • I seen enough to feel the world spin
  • Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
  • Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
  • Listen to the singers make the world go 'round
  • (pan solo)
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Lakes below the mountain
  • Flow into the sea
  • Like oils applied to canvas
  • They permeate through me
  • And there's that one particular harbour
  • Sheltered from the wind
  • Where the children play on the shore each day
  • And all are safe within
  • Most mysterious calling harbour
  • So far but yet so near
  • I can see the day when my hair's full gray
  • And i finally disappear
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ia ora te natura (ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei, hey now, hey now, hey now
  • Ia ora te natura
  • E mea arofa teie ao nei
  • Ua pau te maitai no te fenua [bounty of the land is exhausted]
  • Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie [but there's still abundance in the sea]
  • Ua pau te maitai no te fenua
  • Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie
