New world survivor

I was sitting at the corner cafe
Looking across Montego Bay
I wanted to remember the perfect view
But I was looking at my watch
I was waiting for you
With secrets and your eyes that sing
With your soft skirt flowing in the wind
It´s a picture that you always paint
Between the sinners and the saints
Is this water?
Am I drowning?
Is this water?
There´s a boat out on the ocean.
There´s a swimmer in the tide.
There´s a nervous crowd that´s watching
Hope he makes it to the other side...
Ah Ah
In this strange and new territory
I await your arrival
I´m strong when you stand next to me
I´ll be your new world survivor
In a world that´s changing
Nothing is what it seems
The old order is caving
Hold onto your dreams
You stand out like a beacon in the night
My ship is sailing by your true light
All around us everything falling
Everything falling
Is this water?
Am I drowning?
Is this water?
There´s a boat out on the ocean.
There´s a swimmer in the tide.
There´s a nervous crowd that´s watching
Hope he makes it to the other side...
Ah Ah
In this strange and new territory
I await your arrival
I´m strong when you stand next to me
I´ll be your new world survivor
I see the promise of your light
As we sail across these dark oceans of change
Ah Ah
In this strange and new territory
I await your arrival
I´m strong when you stand next to me
I´ll be your new world survivor
Looking across Montego Bay
I wanted to remember the perfect view
But I was looking at my watch
I was waiting for you
With secrets and your eyes that sing
With your soft skirt flowing in the wind
It´s a picture that you always paint
Between the sinners and the saints
Is this water?
Am I drowning?
Is this water?
There´s a boat out on the ocean.
There´s a swimmer in the tide.
There´s a nervous crowd that´s watching
Hope he makes it to the other side...
Ah Ah
In this strange and new territory
I await your arrival
I´m strong when you stand next to me
I´ll be your new world survivor
In a world that´s changing
Nothing is what it seems
The old order is caving
Hold onto your dreams
You stand out like a beacon in the night
My ship is sailing by your true light
All around us everything falling
Everything falling
Is this water?
Am I drowning?
Is this water?
There´s a boat out on the ocean.
There´s a swimmer in the tide.
There´s a nervous crowd that´s watching
Hope he makes it to the other side...
Ah Ah

Ah Ah

I´m strong when you stand next to me
I´ll be your new world survivor
