about

Whilst at work one day Uncle Phil was introduced to a fellow from the Lighthouse Service. One thing led to another and he asked my uncle if he'd like a job on a lighthouse. When Uncle Phil said yes the man told him that he'd need to start in two day's time. Uncle Phil went home to Aunty Rena and asked her if she wanted to come away with him to a desert island. They ended up spending thirty six years in the light service.

lyrics

Will you come away darlin' with me to a small desert isle,
There's no time to waste we've got to be there in two days time,
There will be no one else there 'cept me you and the babe,
We'll have everything that we need,
A light that we'll shine out into the night
as the moon caresses the sea,

It's such an adventure as we've never had in our lives,
We'll have fresh air and sunshine and room to do just as we like,
There will be no need to worry 'bout trouble and war,
Destiny drifts on the tide,
We'll gather up driftwood and shells from the shore,
Under a giant azure sky,

And dolphins will dance in the swell,
As the sea breeze tousles your hair,
We'll make a life out there on our own
With stories we'll have to tell folks back home,
They won't believe what they hear,

You mad bugger I'm sure that it's not exactly as you say,
But we're in this together so let's take a chance come what may,
I suppose there'll be pirates and unicorns,
buried treasure right under our feet,
rainbows, mermaids and lollipops,
Pink champagne flowing in a stream,

And dolphins will dance in the swell,
as the sea breeze tousles your hair,
We'll make a life out there on our own,
With stories we'll have to tell folks back home,
They won't believe what they hear.
