Just going through some old files and found this song id written after one of my early trips to Bonaire. Have music to it. when I have a chance I should try and record it....just wish I ad talent. Oh yeah, that trip the weather and current was screwy but it didnt stop us from doing 32 dives in 7 days.
I sit at my desk
The cold rain hits the window
The fluorescent light reflects of my hand
I see a dark spot I pick and I worry
Another urchin spine comes out of my hand
Let me go back to the shores of Bonaire now
Let me go back to the waters so clear
Let me go back to the reefs of Bonaire now
Let me go back to the magic that is so far from here.
The jellyfish stings are starting to fade now
The mosquito bites are crusted and dry
The fire coral gash is starting to mend now
But the skin on my knee may never return
Let me go back to the shores of Bonaire now
Let me go back to the waters so clear
Let me go back to be part of the wonder
Let me go back down under the sea
Now I know where a fire worm gets its name from
The itch and the burn is a unique pain
The bot fly larvae is starting to hatch now
A cute souvenir that you can bring home on the plane.
Let me go back to the shores of Bonaire now
Let me explore the deep and the blue
Let me go back to the beautiful coral
Let me go back to share it with you
All of these pains are fading away now
The beauty of the islands is a faint after glow
The only real pain that continues to grow
Is the sense of the loss when I am away.
God let me go back to the shores of Bonaire now
Let me go back to rub salt in my wounds
Let re rediscover the wonders of nature
Let me recharge the fire in my sole
I sit at my desk
The cold rain hits the window
The fluorescent light reflects of my hand
I see a dark spot I pick and I worry
Another urchin spine comes out of my hand
Let me go back to the shores of Bonaire now
Let me go back to the waters so clear
Let me go back to the reefs of Bonaire now
Let me go back to the magic that is so far from here.
The jellyfish stings are starting to fade now
The mosquito bites are crusted and dry
The fire coral gash is starting to mend now
But the skin on my knee may never return
Let me go back to the shores of Bonaire now
Let me go back to the waters so clear
Let me go back to be part of the wonder
Let me go back down under the sea
Now I know where a fire worm gets its name from
The itch and the burn is a unique pain
The bot fly larvae is starting to hatch now
A cute souvenir that you can bring home on the plane.
Let me go back to the shores of Bonaire now
Let me explore the deep and the blue
