I've been singing it up to the mountains
G G# A
I've been shouting it out to the sea
G G# A G G#
I am stuck on low man's island
A G G#
trying to break free
B A A#
theres a little woman

on the other side

and though I don't even know her

how I wish she was mine

Woman across the water
A Asus
do you hear me when I cry
E
when the sun goes down and the stars create
D A
these lonely island nights
F
Woman across the water,
A Asus
to your fancy I'd oblige
E
cross the waves of blue just to get to you
D A
and have you hold me tight
I've been staring into a fire
burning neath the midnight sun
I've been living off peach papaya
and coconut rum
still theres a little woman
half a mile away
I've been watching her slender
silhouette softly sway
Woman across the water
are you lonely just like me
do you ever take the time
to contemplate sublime island fantasies
Woman across the water
I really wish that I knew
the proper motions to cross that ocean
and get myself to you
