The copper shades you wore   Were very big and green   And I was only featherlight   Above the engine roar   In the smell of gasoline   You'd make sure I'd hold on tight      And there we'd go with no direction   Anywhere the wind would blow   And I would ask you all these questions   While your pride of me would show      Then in an act of love   You'd pull me close and check   My orange-colored water wings   You'd turn the engine off   And somewhere from the back   We'd both jump in for a swim      And there we'd go with no direction   Anywhere the wind would blow   And I would ask you all these questions   While your pride of me would show      And there we'd go with no direction   Anywhere the summer wind would blow   And I would ask you all these questions   While your pride of me would show      And safe in your Calypso   With the world of wise Cousteau below   And ice cream castles overhead   Now how was I to know   How was I to know   How was I to know   How was I to know      A towel round my chest   Your copper shades back on   We would speed up fast   And dry up by the sun
