London Calling! the Musical - Tamarisk Town Lyrics
Music and Lyrics by Noël Coward.
On an island far across the sea,
A maid sat dreaming,
While above the Tamarisks,
The moon was softly gleaming,
And as the perfumed Southern breeze caressed her,
She dreamed of how her lover's arms had pressed her.
And she was sighing, sighing.
(Refrain:)
Come to Tamarisk Town,
When the birds in Spring are mating,
I'm tired of waiting
I love you so.
The honey-wind is blowing o'er the bay,
It calls to mind the day you went away.
From the look in your eyes
I can tell your heart is yearning
To be returning to me
In Tamarisk Town again.
Softly o'er the skies the silver dawn came creeping,
Weary were her eyes and sad her heart, with weeping.
Then suddenly she saw a sail appearing,
And then a graceful schooner swiftly nearing.
With joy bells ringing,
She's gaily singing, singing.
(Refrain 2:)
Come to Tamarisk Town,
When the birds in Spring are mating,
I'm tired of waiting
I love you so.
The honey-wind is blowing o'er the bay,
It calls to mind the day you went away.
From the look in your eyes
I can tell your heart is yearning
To be returning to me
In Tamarisk Town again.
