When I first met you, I said "My god, get away You smell like fish heads." And you followed me around all day While you were smitten with me, I tried to get away You would dream of the ocean Wave from the Aleutians crashing on the shore And you'd dream of the Maori Alive in the South Sea As a child on the island, you'd doze As the light of the moon reflected off your toes And the wind off the water felt warm In the calm of the night that came before the storm You would dream of the ocean Wave from the Aleutians crashing on the shore And you'd dream of the Maori Alive in the South Sea You always said that you'd be fine There's no predicting what could happen in a lifetime Maybe you've just lost your mind Well, there's a lot to be said for what's been left behind You just dream of the ocean Wave from the Aleutians crashing on the shore And you'd dream of the Maori Alive in the South Sea And you'd dream of the Maori Alive in the South Sea
