Sweet wind blowing off the bay
   sweeping the heat of the day away
   making the leaves of the palm trees sway
   down here tonight everything's okay
  
   net's coming in and the anchor's down
   hour of darkness comes around
   stars dust the sky and the lights go on
   soon tonight will be filled with song
  
   pans gonna play and the fire burn bright
   talking drums say everything's all right
   beating of the sea sends a message
   to the far starlight
   "we're doing okay down here tonight"
  
   the end of the road's still far away
   but the travelling's better by the light of day
   this hour of darkness is the time to dance
   lay down your burdens -- give the beat a chance
  
   pans gonna play and the fire burn bright
   talking drums say everything's all right
   beating of the sea sends a message
   to the far starlight
   "we're doing okay down here tonight"
