Around The World
eM-Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I have been around the world
And I forget
All the reasons I had
For all the places I went

And I have met a lot of girls
And I regret
That I didn't make love to every one that I met
A woman is a beautiful thing
Said a woman is a beautiful thing

But now there's a moon over Santa Fe
The clouds are silver
And I know I'm finally home

I went to Thailand by way of Seattle
Costa Rica by way of Bangkok
Thailand by way of San Jose
Scotland by way of Kilkenny

Spain by way of Glasgow
New York by way of Madrid
And all that time I was running
From the people I loved

And the things that I did
I have been around the world
And I forget
All the reasons I had

For all the places I went
And I have met a lot of girls
And I regret
That I didn't make love to every one that I met

A woman is a beautiful thing
Said a woman is a beautiful thing
But now there's a moon over Santa Fe
The clouds are silver

And I know I'm finally home
