Refrain
Take me to the clear blue skies
take me to the paradise
bring me back to Reunion
where all is said and all is done
the sand so wide the mountains high
to Reunion I want to fly

Heading for the air port
in my mind a single word
luggage for three crazy weeks
in my head some Spirit beats
the taxi speeding to approach
I'm jumping off this yellow coach
rush through escalators
head to air line counter
unburden all that luggage stuff
cell phone gonna get switched off
finally my boarding card
restless in the boarding yard
then the gate is opening
I'm entering the air plane
Jumbojet to Paradise
the crew is having some advice
I can't await the liftoff
at last the lights are switched off
I'm flying, I'm flying to Paradise
so many miles

Refrain

Air France is recommendable
red wine is served in bottles
sunset over Italy, Africa 'can hardly see
scattered lights in Sahara
we're crossing coast of Africa 
another bottle of Bordeaux
fivethousand miles are still to go
no sleep at all that night
no matter how I fight
finally I fall asleep
unfortunately not very deep
awaken by a gorgeous sunrise
from hundred colors I'm amazed
we're crossing Madagascar
it's time to have a breakfast then 
some minutes later an advice
to fasten seatbelts, how nice
we're approaching paradise
this morning though the clear blue skies

Refrain

After landing I check out
try to get my luggage out
what a smell, what a sound
I leave the building on Holy Ground
paradise has comin' true
the air is fresh and clear and blue
I'm hiring an old taxicab
a driver with a baseball cap
a friendly grin is on his face
driving me to my booked place 
a beachside hotel, lots of stars
few traffic not that many cars 
the Indian Ocean welcomes me
this is the only place to be 
it's paradise so far away
a pirates island so they say 
abandoned beach for many miles
a spot of heaven, paradise
volcano island legendary
somewhere south and solitary

Refrain
