The Island of Clouds made of Cotton
There I stood
Just in front of the house
I was so anxious
…fidgeted with my blouse
It was such a long time since I have gone
To the island of clouds made of cotton
But never o ever have I forgotten
The island of clouds made of cotton
So I breathed deep, So deep
As to fill my being, I’ll share
I pushed el portón to the side
And breathed deep the fresh Island air
…I was home…
For it was such a long time since I have gone
To the island of clouds made of cotton
But never o ever have I forgotten
The island of clouds made of cotton
So I laid en la marquecina
Contemplating the bright twinkling stars
Taking in the beauty
Of los coquis, the dogs, the porton’s entangled bars,
The dominoes chiming their beautiful song
And my uncle’s coffee brown cigar
For it was such a long time since I have gone
To the island of clouds made of cotton
But never o ever have I forgotten
The island of clouds made of cotton
