Fort-da. Fort-da. Fort-da
I'll chant these refrains
To call you, back here, to my mind
From where you have gone
Fort-da, cushion the weight
Of your ocean crossing
World can't wait for you
World won't rest
So promise me you won't forget
How the sun breaks through the leaves
The birds in the trees
The worms underneath
And all your lucent dreams
In this tropical scene
Such comforts were these
As we wait
