Many cages, many rules
Many battles in my blues
Many days without a clue
But you came and turned me loose
Call you when things don't go my way
You have the word that hits my brain
Heal me with your touch, anoint me
Because your love is all I need
It's all about you
You're the one who lives inside my mind
A message falling from the sky
And a revelation of the moon
It's all about you
You're the one who stays and never goes
A solitary spotlight in my show
You're the one who plays the violin
In my Caribbean blues
I've got the habit of your smile
My dwelling place around your heart
Heal me with your touch, anoint me
Because your love is all I need
It's all about you
You're the one who lives inside my mind
A message falling from the sky
And a revelation of the moon
It's all about you
You're the one who stays and never goes
A solitary spotlight in my show
You're the one who plays the violin
In my Caribbean blues
Por la marea
By the tide
Las olas llegan
The waves arrive
Por la marea
By the tide
Searching in the evening
Stars above the ocean
Falling constellations
You're the only light I know
Water takes a river
Far beyond the mountains
In every road I take now
You're the only way that I know
It's all about you
You're the one who lives inside my mind
A message falling from the sky
And a revelation of the moon
It's all about you
You're the one who stays and never goes
A solitary spotlight in my show
You're the one who plays the violin
In my Caribbean blues
