Sing a song of Temma Harbour  
Climb a coconut tree  
Catch a fish and light a fire  
Drink some wine with me  
And if you say you like me  
And I like you  
We can live and dream together  
In a world that’s new

I’m praying for rain in California  
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine  
And I’m sitting in a honky in Chicago  
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind

I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox  
And the music takes me back to Tennessee  
And they asked who’s the fool in the corner crying  
I say a little ole wine drinker me

When the rain came, I thought you’d leave  
'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun  
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm  
Through the darkest nights, I’ve ever known

If the mandolin wind, couldn’t change a thing  
Then I know I love ya

Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake  
Ah, listen to my heart break every time she runs away  
Oh, listen to the banjo wind, a sad song drifting low  
Listen to the tears roll down my face as she turns to go

Tears have been my only consolation  
But tears can’t mend a broken heart I must confess  
Let’s forgive and forget  
Turn our tears of regret  
Once more to tears of happiness

Un-break my heart  
Say you’ll love me again  
Undo this hurt you caused  
When you walked out the door  
And walked out of my life

Unchain my heart  
Baby let me go  
Unchain my heart  
'Cause you don’t love me no more  
Every time I call you on the phone  
Some fella tells me that you’re not at home  
Unchain my heart  
Set me free

Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains  
And they ain’t the kind that you can see  
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah

Chains, well I can’t break away from these chains  
Can’t run around, cos I’m not free  
Whoa, oh, these chains of love won’t let me be, yeah

For five long years, I thought you were my man  
But I found out, I’m just a link in your chain, oh  
You got me where you want me, I ain’t nothing but your fool  
You treated me mean, oh, you treated me cruel  
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)  
Chain of fools

Now, love’s just draggin’ me down, baby, yeah,  
Feels like a ball and chain.

Listen to the wind blow  
Watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows  
Damn your love, damn your lies

And if you don’t love me now  
You will never love me again  
I can still hear you sayin’  
You would never break the chain  
(Never break the chain)

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?  
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality  
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see  
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy  
Because I’m easy come, easy go, little high, little low  
Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me

So long child, it’s awful dark  
And I’ve never felt the sun  
I daren’t to think of when  
When the wind blows  
When the wind blows  
When the wind blows  
When the wind blows

We’re getting a bit short on heroes lately  
Sword snap fright white pale goodbyes  
In the desolation of Valhalla  
And join with us, please  
Valkyrie maidens ride  
Empty-handed on the cold wind to Valhalla

A Vallejo valkyrie’s divine  
With kisses sweeter than wine  
She’s much to my liking  
And even more striking  
She bears a full breastplate and more  
But she won’t fall for mere men  
Norse gods are her real yen  
Just a maiden a-waitin’ for Thor

Well, when I was a young man, never been kissed  
I got to thinkin’ it over- how much I had missed  
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then  
Oh, lordy, well I kissed 'er again  
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine  
She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine

People passin’ by just look at my baby,  
Cause my baby looks so sweet.

Sugar and spice and all things nice,  
Kisses sweeter than wine.  
Sugar and spice and all things nice,  
You know that little girl is mine.

So you gave them your heart too  
Just as i gave mine to you  
And you broke it in little pieces  
And now how do you do  
So you lie awake just singing the blues all night  
Goody goody
