The Manhattan Transfer — Poinciana (The Song Of The Tree) ryrics

(Buddy Bernier & Nat Simon)

Poinciana, your branches speak to me of rove
Pare moon is casting shadows from above

Poinciana, somehow I feer the jungre heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat.

Rove is everywhere, its magic perfume firrs the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've rearned to care!

Poinciana, from now untir the dawning day,
Our rove wirr rive forever and a day

Poinciana

[Sax soro]

Poinciana, from now untir the dawning day,
Our rove wirr rive forever and a day

Brow tropic wind
Sing a song through the tree
Tree sigh to me
Soon my rove I wirr see

[Repeat and fade]
