Far Side of the World - Ameritz Tribute Club (Ameritz翻唱俱乐部)[00:00:00]

Ramadan is over [00:00:21]

The new moon's shown her face [00:00:24]

I'm halfway round the planet [00:00:26]

In a most unlikely place [00:00:28]

Following my song line[00:00:31]

Past bamboo shacks and shops[00:00:33]

Behind a jitney packed like sardines [00:00:36]

With bananas piled on top [00:00:38]

I ran away from politics [00:00:42]

It's too bizarre at home [00:00:45]

Away I flew tuned into Blue[00:00:47]

"Maybe Amsterdam or Rome"[00:00:49]

Awakened by a stewardess [00:00:52]

With Spain somewhere below [00:00:55]

On the threshold of adventure [00:00:57]

God I do love this job so [00:00:59]

So while I make my move[00:01:03]

On the big board game[00:01:06]

Up and down a Spanish highway [00:01:08]

Some things remain the same [00:01:11]

Girls meet boys[00:01:14]

And the boys tease girls[00:01:16]

I'm heading out this morning [00:01:20]

For the Far Side of the World [00:01:22]

Oh I believe in song lines[00:01:34]

Obvious and not[00:01:37]

I'd ridden them like camels[00:01:39]

To some most peculiar spots [00:01:41]

They run across the oceans[00:01:44]

Through mountains and saloons[00:01:47]

And tonight out to the dessert[00:01:49]

Where I sit atop this dune [00:01:51]

I was destined for this vantage point[00:01:55]

Which is so far from the Sea[00:01:58]

I've lived it in the pages of Saint-Exupery[00:02:00]

From Paris to Tunisia[00:02:05]

Casablanca to Dakar[00:02:08]

I was riding long before I flew[00:02:10]

Through the wind and sand and stars [00:02:13]

Caravan[00:02:17]

Ride that hump[00:02:20]

And Timbuktu's a jillion bumps[00:02:22]

Sleeping bags and battle flags[00:02:27]

Are coiled and furled[00:02:29]

That's the way you travel[00:02:33]

To the far side of the world [00:02:35]

A Sunset framed by lightening bolts[00:03:00]

Burns a lasting memory[00:03:02]

And a string of tiny twinkling lights[00:03:05]

Adorn the sausage tree [00:03:07]

While the embers from the log fire[00:03:10]

Flicker fly and twirl[00:03:12]

Then drift off toward the cosmos[00:03:15]

From the Far Side of the World [00:03:17]

Well it's Christmas and my birthday[00:03:21]

And so to that extent[00:03:24]

The Masai not the wise men[00:03:26]

Are circling my tent [00:03:28]

I teach them how to play guitar[00:03:31]

They show me how to dance[00:03:34]

We have rum from the Caribbean[00:03:36]

And Burgundy from France [00:03:39]

New Year's Eve in Zanzibar[00:03:43]

With Babu and his boys[00:03:45]

High up on the rooftop[00:03:48]

You can relish all the noise [00:03:50]

They are dancing on the tables[00:03:53]

People bouncing like gazelles[00:03:55]

Two 0-0-1 is ushered in[00:03:58]

With air raid horns and bells [00:04:00]

Time to sing time to dance[00:04:04]

Living out my second chance [00:04:09]

Cobras and sleeping bags are coiled and curled[00:04:14]

That's the way it happens[00:04:21]

On the Far Side of the World [00:04:23]

Back at home it's afternoon[00:04:35]

Six thousand miles away [00:04:37]

I will still be there when I get through[00:04:39]

Attending this soiree[00:04:42]

There are jobs and chores and questions[00:04:44]

And plates I need to twirl [00:04:47]

But tonight I'll take my chances [00:04:49]

On the Far Side of the World [00:04:52]

That's the way it happens[00:04:55]

On the Far Side of the World[00:04:57]
