Fire-Haired Island Girl

Lyrics

Verse 1
Down by the salt-wet shore,
I saw you in the spray.
Your red hair caught the morning,
and stole my breath away.
You laughed like breaking water,
you ran where gulls all wheel.

Pre-Chorus
You’re wild, you’re free, I know,
you move like summer flame.
And every road I’m taking
just leads me back your way.

Chorus
Flame-haired island girl,
you’re the one for me.
Wild and free, wild and free,
you’re the one for me.
Dance by the bay, my love,
under fire pit light.
Flame-haired island girl,
stay with me tonight.

Verse 2
You dance out in the night bay,
boots thudding in the sand.
And all your days are golden,
in fields of maze you stand.
With grass on your bare ankles,
you spin the whole world round.

Pre-Chorus
You’re wild, you’re free, I know,
you never need a chain.
I’d cross the rain and breakers
to hear you call my name.

Chorus
Flame-haired island girl,
you’re the one for me.
Wild and free, wild and free,
you’re the one for me.
Dance by the bay, my love,
under fire pit light.
Flame-haired island girl,
stay with me tonight.

Bridge
Let the dawn come slow now,
let the waves roll in.
I’ve searched this whole wide island,
and I’d search again for you.
One kiss and I’m a sailor,
one smile and I’m home.

Final Chorus
Flame-haired island girl,
you’re the one for me.
Wild and free, wild and free,
you’re the one for me.
Dance by the bay, my love,
under fire pit light.
Flame-haired island girl,
stay with me tonight.
