Lyrics

Sailing on the subway late last night
I read your picture postcard from paradise
The one with the palm trees and the moonlight
Softly laying on the bay
I read what you said, you said, "Wish you were here
It's winter up there, here it's summer all year
So I'm sending some sunshine with this souvenir
To keep you warm while you're away"
St. Augustine, won't you pray for me?
Show me my way back to the sea
Baby's been waiting endlessly
For me in Florida
She's my fair bit of youth, she's my old Key West
The brightest of bloom in my treasure chest
The flower that blooms the loveliest in Florida
Florida, Florida
Going back to the peninsula, Florida
It's a hard life when the island you're on
Is covered with snow, steel and stone
Where the natives are restless all night long
Ooh, the jungle never sleeps
And dreams of golden days tanning in the sun
With the dollars you raise, all the sandy ones
And when you're making waves, you're just having fun
Making love out on the beach
St. Augustine, won't you pray for me?
Show me my way back to the sea
Where baby's been waiting endlessly
For me in Florida
She's my fair bit of youth, she's my old Key West
The brightest of bloom in my treasure chest
The flower that blooms the loveliest in Florida
Florida, Florida
Going back to the peninsula, Florida
Ooh, Florida, Florida
Going down the peninsula, oh, my Florida
Ooh yeah, Florida, Florida
Back to the peninsula, oh, my Florida
