lyrics

Jamaica Holds The Key

I thought of you this morning
It’s been so many years
The memories came falling
Through a veil of souvenirs
I’ll be heading west (east?) tomorrow
On the early morning flight
Will my questions become answers
Come the Caribbean night

Oh Jamaica holds the key
There were clues if not a sign
The Caribbean Sea
Was forever on your mind
And if I ever get a reason
For you running out on me
I think I’ll find
Jamaica holds the key

It would be good to see a picture
Have you changed in any way
All I have is the frozen memory
Of the day you went away
But I don’t really want to see you
I’m not looking for a show
When you left without a warning
Just felt I had a right to know

Oh Jamaica holds the key
With your dreams of Annandale
From the Caribbean Sea
To the Ocho Rios trail
And if I ever get a reason
For you running out on me
I think I’ll find
Jamaica holds the key

So here’s my message in a bottle
I’m sending out to you to find
When I’m on that flight tomorrow
I’ll be keeping you in mind

Oh Jamaica holds the key
There were clues if not a sign
The Caribbean Sea
Was forever on your mind
And if I ever get a reason
For you running out on me
I think I’ll find
Jamaica holds the key
I think I’ll find
Jamaica holds the key.
