One Particular Harbour    By: Jimmy Buffett, Bobby Holcomb    1983    For Marius Skatelborough    Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei    Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei       I know I don't get there often enough    But God knows I surely try    It's a magic kind of medicine    That no doctor could prescribe       I used to rule my world from a pay phone    Ships out on the sea    But now times are rough    And I got too much stuff    Can't explain likes of me       Chorus:    But there's this one particular harbour    So far but yet so near    Where I see the days as they fade away    And finally disappear       But now I think about the good times    Down in the Caribbean sunshine    In my younger days I was so bad    Laughin' about all the fun we had       I seen enough to feel the world spin    Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins    Listen to the drummers and the night sounds    Listen to the singers make the world go 'round       (pan solo)       Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei    Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei       Lakes below the mountain    Flow into the sea    Like oils applied to canvas    They permeate through me       And there's that one particular harbour    Sheltered from the wind    Where the children play on the shore each day    And all are safe within       Most mysterious calling harbour    So far but yet so near    I can see the day when my hair's full gray    And I finally disappear       Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei    Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei       Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei    Ia ora te natura (Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)    E mea arofa teie ao nei       Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei    Ia ora te natura (Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)    E mea arofa teie ao nei, hey now, hey now, hey now       Ia ora te natura    E mea arofa teie ao nei       Ua pau te maitai no te fenua [Bounty of the land is exhausted]    Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie [But there's still abundance in the sea]    Ua pau te maitai no te fenua    Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie       - Notes:    Background Vocals: Timothy B.
