First I saw you on a wall
Amongst other pictures short and tall
A godhead flower with a fuchsia heart
I couldn't let Tahiti keep us apart
I fell into your tranquiline gaze
A breeze only you can raise
Brown skin brown eyes
Under translucent skies
My Gauguin girl
Maybe I waited too long
My Gauguin girl
How I miss your song
Living on love and wine and bread
Having nothing but you inside my head
Day by day and hour by hour
Ebony figure of a godhead flower
My Gauguin girl
Maybe I waited too long
My Gauguin girl
How I miss your song
But sadly now I know I must go
Murmurs of darkness come from below
The sky holds a place for your love in grace
A tropical flower I must leave this hour
My Gauguin girl
Maybe I waited too long
My Gauguin girl
How I miss your song
