lyrics

Rio

Rio is calling to me
Tempting me away from the cold and the rain
I wish I was flying down to Rio tonight
To feel the heat sweeter than sugar cane
Under the gaze of Christ the redeemer, sipping sherveza by day
Velvet cloaked night, I’ll find my Latina, dancing the night away

Carnival it’s a riot of sound
Feel the pulse, carmalitas go by
Bare feet on the sand and love in my heart
Paixao emoda eu tea mo
At dawn we’ll be strolling along ipanema, watch the sun rise with a kiss
Sway to the beat that we stole from the ‘dromo, latin American bliss

After a while find a sleepy cantina
Brush the sand from our feet
And lose ourselves in that samba beat.

That insistant beat is just rain on my roof
It pulls me back from my tropical dream
Rio’s calling but she’s fading away
Blowing a kiss like a carnival queen
And now with regret I’m back on the treadmill working by night and all day
I try to hold on to that glorious feeling; Rio’s calling, but she’s fading away
Rio’s calling but she’s fading away
