Lyrics - Nick Crosby
Now you've left our garden
Too few months had we together
My love was never your warden
I am a prisoner of the weather
Winter is the awful sting
For you leaving me alone
Now separate paths till spring
When together we may roam
It begins with our parting kiss
You orbit low, I ride the sky
We revoke warm summer bliss
And I crystallize the tide
I drive the City of Sails
You are the warmth of life
I bringer of ocean swells
Winter storms and strife
Tai Awatea = incoming tide (tai) carries new knowledge, revealed in light of day (awatea)
Te toka tu moana = the rock standing in the ocean
Aroha mai, aroha atu = Love towards us, love going out from us
Tai Awatea
No single season can last
Each gives, its own treasure
Each a remnant of ages past
Each season its own measure
Your arc in a distant space
Your love whispers from afar
Horizon warms in the embrace
Of you, its' nearest star
Tai Awatea
Te toka tu moana
Aroha mai, aroha atu
Tai Awatea
Each of us appointed
By Gravity's tight reigns
Different heavens have anointed
Each of our campaigns
Each of our refrains
We'll embrace again in spring
Our love will then rebound
I'll return on feathered wings
Equator you go round
Round and 'round and Round and 'round yeah! Yeah...
(Tai Awatea)
We'll embrace again in spring
(Ta Toka Tu Moana)
Our love will then rebound
(Aroha Mai, Aorha Atu)
Round and 'round and Round and 'round yeah!
Round and 'round
Loving forevermore
