I'll meet you for the first time again Three oceans collide like old friends Elephant memories in your skin Sell a bottle of beer and keep it within Now I'm off to see if you were the last hope for me You were lost in Kanyakumari While I was stuck in New York City Oh, you can write me from a roof of a hospital Indian sun's beating down on ya Winter takes the life out of me While you were lost in Kanyakumari Thought I'd write home for the last time again Five o'clock shadow and a new girlfriend What about you, what are you up to now? The roots of my skin, they're still there and loud I could have done better with you Oh I could have done better with you I could have done better Oh I could have done better with you Now I'm off to see if you were the last hope for me You were lost in Kanyakumari While i was stuck in New York City Oh, you can write me from a roof of a hospital Indian sun's beating down on ya Winter takes the life out of me While you were lost in Kanyakumari
