Poinciana (The Song of the Tree)
Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat
Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care!
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
Our love will live forever and a day
Poinciana --
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
Our love will live forever and a day
Blow tropic wind
Sing a song through the tree
Tree sigh to me
Soon my love I will see
Blow tropic wind
Sing a song through the tree
Tree sigh to me
Soon my love I will see
