Lyrics

Tell me when the work is done
Tell me when the day is through
And I'll drive safely inside my car
Taking islands in Africa
Shout if someone gets too near
I'll know just what I ought to do
I'll arrive safely in my car
Taking islands in Africa
Now you're feet are back on the ground again
She'll say the weather's dim but relax my love
Relax and swing
Things you say are not too clear
I'm someone you'll neither know again
But I sit here and watch from afar
Taking islands in Africa
Whisper in the wind
Whisper in the wind...
