26 Miles (Santa Catalina) Songtext
von The Four Preps

26 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 is romance

It seems so distant, 26 miles away
Restin' in the water serene
I'd work for anyone, even the navy
Who would float me to my island dream

26 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


26 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

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

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

26 miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin′ for me
26 miles across the sea
