Lyrics
Warm winds blow on a winters day, the jet set sails down there to play, America's paradise license tags say, down in the west indies where the steel drums play.
A silver bird is going to fly me away, i'll leave my blues behind with these cold winters days, 'gonna lay in the sun down in Magens Bay, going to saint thomas for a holiday....going to the islands and i just might stay.
The sun will make you lazy, make you island crazy, and if you ain't from there, well it ain't so rare, 'cause this is paradise, the whole world getsa share, you'll never know who you'll meet, on holidays there...chorus...
so fly me away, i'm gonna leave here today,fly me away.
