Up on the veranda
She wears a and a Panama hat
Her passport shows a
another time and place
She looks nothing that
And all the of her recent past
Are in the wild wind
She across the marble floor
Where a voice the gambling room is callin' her to come on in
She smiles, walks the way
As the last ship and the moon fades away
From Black Bay

As the light breaks open, the Greek comes down
And he asks for a rope and a pen will write
Pardon, monsieur, the desk clerk
removes his fez
Am I hearing you
And as the fog is lifting
The is quickly heading for the second floor
She passes him on the staircase
Thinking he's the Ambassador
She to speak, but he walks away
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches
On Black Bay

A sits beneath the fan
business with a tiny man who sells him a ring
Lightning strikes, the lights out
The desk clerk wakes and begins to
Can you see
Then the Greek appears on the second
In his bare feet with a rope his neck
While a loser in the gambling room up a candle
Says, open up deck
But the dealer says, attendez-vous, vous plait
As the beats down and the cranes fly away
From Diamond Bay

The desk clerk heard the woman
As he looked around the and the soldier got tough
He to grab the woman's hand
Said, here's a ring, it a grand
She said, that enough
Then she ran upstairs to pack her
a horse-drawn taxi waited at the curb
She passed the door that the Greek had
Where a sign read, do not disturb
She knocked upon it
As the sun went and the music did play
On Diamond Bay

got to talk to someone quick
But the said, go away, and he kicked the chair to the floor
He there from the chandelier
She cried, help, danger near
Please open up the
Then the erupted
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high
The and the tiny man were crouched in the corner
Thinking of forbidden
But the desk clerk said, it happens day
As the stars fell down and the burned away
On Black Bay

As the island slowly
The finally broke the bank in the gambling room
The dealer said, too late now
You can take money, but I don't know how
spend it in the tomb
The tiny man bit the ear
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the blew
While out on the balcony, where a stranger tells her
My darling, je vous beaucoup
She sheds a tear and begins to pray
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts
From Diamond Bay

I was home alone one night in L.A.
old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news
It seems was an earthquake that
Left but a Panama hat
And a of old Greek shoes
Didn't seem much was happening
So I turned it off and went to another beer
Seems like every time you around
another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
And there's nothing anyone can say
And I never did plan to go
To Diamond Bay
