Jamaica Sunday morning, April 1803   Children at the harbor waitin' to see   There beyond the breakers heading into view   Sunlight in your sails, it was you      But paradise is closed today   Till the moon is full and it pulls the tide   After all these years, love is still alive   She still waits on the other side      The captain tried to warn the men   As he tried to mend the sails   But a whim of the wind was too much for him   And he failed      And at the same time, on the shoreline   She was waiting for her captain   And she never believed it   When they told her what had happened      Paradise is closed today   Till the moon is full and it pulls the tide   After all these years, love is still alive   She still waits on the other side      Jamaica Sunday morning, April 1803   Children at the harbor waitin' to see   There beyond the breakers heading into view   Sunlight in your sails, it was you
