Ticket to the Tropics
Gerard Joling Lyrics

Here I'm sitting and it's getting cold
I am feeling cold and lonely here.

The morning rain's against my window pane
The sound of raindrops reminds me of my sadness.

While the world it looks so cold and gray
The world seems bleak and colorless to me.

In my mind I drift away
I escape into my thoughts and imagination.

Then I'm on my way to tropic island
I imagine myself leaving this place and going to a tropical paradise.

You had always said I was a dreamer
You used to criticize my imaginative nature.

You were right
You were correct about me being a dreamer.

Gotta buy me a ticket to the tropics
I need to purchase a ticket to a tropical getaway.

Forget our love and leave this place behind me
I want to forget about our relationship and move on from this place.

And prove myself that I can live without your love
I want to demonstrate that I can live without your affection and support.

Here I'm sitting in the middle place
I am currently in a state of confusion and uncertainty.

Sun is shining on my face again
I am starting to feel better and brighter with the sun shining down on me.

Think about the way it had to end
I am reflecting on how our relationship came to an end.

Now I'm sitting here alone
I am all by myself, feeling the absence of your presence.

And it's not the way we were together
Things are not the same as when we were together.

I want you to know I'm gonna miss you
I want you to be aware that I will miss you deeply.

Miss you bad
I will miss you terribly.
