Story Behind The Song

Growing up on an island and from home on the hills (Dondonald Hill, St. James Port of Spain) you can see the whole coastline and the vast ocean but feel so trapped and all you want to do is see the rest of the world, taking for granted the beauty right where you are on the Beautiful Island of Trinidad & Tobago, you wait for love to sweep you off your feet and off to new lands with a new visitor to the island, a new man, a new adventure. An escape from the mundane. Although Soca is the national musical language, the warm sounds of reggae are also on the island and warms your soul like a warm breeze on the shore.

Lyrics

(So long I've been waiting)
(For someone like you oh)

Come here my darling
And pack me up
And take me to foreign
Come here my darling
Come here my darling
And take me to foreign

There were many times when
I wished I wasn't here
Standing alone on a shore
Of an island breeze
oh ho

Then you walked by me
And the temperature changed
I wanna know your name
A magical moment
A magical man
Take me away to your land

Then you tell me Sweetie
You take yourself with you
Wherever you go
So if you don't fix yuhself
You will always feel low
Trust me I know
(But magic man)

I always want to leave here
But with you by my side
Me don't have fi go

Come here my darling
And pack me up
And take me to foreign
Come here my darling
Come here my darling
And take me to foreign

Come here my darling
And pack me up
And take me to foreign
Come here my darling
Come here my darling
And take me to foreign

(Come nah with me)
(To me yard )
(Fi see wha meh talkin)

Walking up to the house on Dundonald Hill
No maxi taxi for real?
The ghetto Hollywood Hills of Port of Spain
(Wasteman everywhere)

See the world through my window
I can see everything
But I still feel lock up
Rescue me now with your love
Cover me with your love
And carry me away away

Mammy house a move
Your vibrations are strong
T'antie house a sway
Seen it through the window deh
(Mmmhumm)
As you carry me away

Is this real love
Meh nah know
But let's pretend
And to foreign we'll go

Come here my darling
And pack me up
And take me to foreign
Come here my darling
Come here my darling
And take me to foreign

Even if I find myself
I wanna travel the world
And see the magic
Do you get it?
Magic man
Tek me a foreign

Come here my darling
And pack me up
And take me to foreign
Come here my darling
Come here my darling
And take me to foreign

Oh ho
