"26 Miles" The Four Preps

Quote:
Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance
Romance, romance, romance


Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there, romance


It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away
Restin' in the water serene
I'd work for anyone, even the Navy
Who would float me to my island dream


Twenty-six miles, so near yet far
I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar
I could leave the wings
But I'll need the guitar for romance
Romance, romance, romance


Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance


A tropical heaven out in the ocean
Covered with trees and girls
If I have to swim, I'll do it forever
'Til I'm gazin' on those island pearls


Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat
Any old thing that'll stay afloat
When we arrive we'll all promote romance
Romance, romance, romance


Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina
The island of romance
Romance, romance, romance

@MontereyJack,
I haven't been there but friends stopped there on their way to some weeks in South America back in the ?late sixties and I've remembered how beautiful they thought it was.

O is for Oleander, this one is in tree form, probably a 'Queen Anne' -

P is for Poilu, French front-line equivalent of a G.I. or a grunt, in WWI. The nicknames change, the deaths remain constant.
