26 Miles [Santa Catalina] lyrics

Twenty- six miles across the sea

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me

Santa Catalina, the island of

Romance, romance, romance, romance

Water all around it everywhere

Tropical trees and the salty air

But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there,

Romance

It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away

Restin' in the water serene

I'd work for anyone, even the Navy

Who would float me to my island dream

Twenty-six miles, so near yet far

I'd swim with just some water wings and my guitar

I could leave the wings, but I'll need the guitar

For romance, romance, romance, romance

Twenty- six miles across the sea

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me

Santa Catalina, the island of romance

A tropical heaven out in the ocean

Covered with trees and girls

And if I have to swim, I'll do it forever

'Til I'm gazin' on those island pearls

Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat

Any old thing that'll stay afloat

When we arrive we'll all promote

Romance, romance, romance, romance

Twenty- six miles across the sea

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me

Santa Catalina, the island of

Romance, romance, romance, romance

Twenty- six miles across the sea

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me...
