Whenua Patuwai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't be confused baby, the way is clear
& If you want it you got it forever
This is not a one night stand,
Let the music take your mind,
Just release & you will find
You're gonna fly away
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love,
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together
Baby tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must
& Inch by inch we get closer & closer
With every little part of each other
Let the music take your mind
Just release & you will find
You're gonna fly away
Glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love,
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together
Cruise with me baby
You're gonna fly away
Glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
(The music is played for love)
(Cruisin' is made for love)
I love it when we're cruisin' together
You're gonna fly away
Glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
(The music is played for love)
(Cruisin' is made for love)
I love it when we're cruisin' together
Cruise with me baby

L.A proved too much for the man
(Too much for the man)
(He couldn't make it)
So, he's leaving the life he's come to know, oh
He said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
What's left of his world
The world he left behind
Not so long ago
He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)
Hmm, yeah
Said he's going back (going back to find)
To a simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)
Oh yes, he is (guess who's gonna sit right by his side)
And I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine (world, world)
(It's his, his and hers alone)
He kept dreaming
(Dreaming)
Oh, that someday he'd be a star
(A superstar, but he didn't get far)
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true)
Oh no (uh-uh, no, uh-uh)
So he hung all his hopes
And he even sold his own car, hmm
Bought a one way ticket back
To the life that he once knew
Oh yes he did
He said he would
I know he's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)
Hmm, yeah
Said he's going back to find, oh (going back to find)
A simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)
(Guess who's gonna sit right by his side)
And, I'm gonna be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on the midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine (world, world)
(It's his, his and hers alone)
Oh, he's leaving
(Leaving)
On a midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train)
Yeah, oh yo
Said he's going back to find
(Going back to find)
Oh, a simpler place and time (whenever he takes that ride)
(Guess who's gonna be right by his side)
I've got to be with him
(I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine (world, world)
(Is his, his and hers alone)
one love
(All aboard) all aboard
A midnight train to ride
(One love) one love
(All aboard) all aboard
Gotta go on the midnight train to go (midnight train to go)
(One love) one love
(All aboard) all aboard
Aha, the midnight train to go (midnight train to go)
My world (one love)
His world (all aboard)
Our world, mine and his alone (midnight train to go)
My world (one love)
His world (all aboard)
Our world, mine and his alone (midnight train to go)
I've got to go (one love)
I've got to go (all abroad)
I've got to go (midnight train to go)
Hey
I've got to go (one love)
I've got to go (all abroad)
(Midnight train to go)
My world (one love)
His world (all aboard)
My man, his girl
I've got to go, I've got go
I've got to go
