This song appears on three albums, and was first released on The Flower That Shattered The Stone album, and has also been released on the Stonehaven Sunrise and The John Denver Collection - Calypso albums. The sun sinks behind me in the west This is the time of day I love best Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palm As the colors change, they set a scene of tropic calm Seagulls headed back to land Over the mangrove and the salt pan By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishin' line Win back some memories and losin' track of time I head a little further north each year Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind Up where my troubles can all disappear I head a little further north each year Feeling the night wrap around me Eases my mind's serenity Ocean waves are hummin' on the outer reef These balmy days and sultry nights are a welcome relief I head a little further north each year Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind Up where my troubles can all disappear I head a little further north each year I head a little further north each year Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind Up where my troubles can all disappear I head a little further north each year I head a little further north each year Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind Up where my troubles can all disappear I head a little further north each year Words and music by Graeme Connors
