Tommy Castro - Overseas lyrics

rate me

I lie awake in my bed now<br />

Thinking of something somehow<br />

It's kinda gloomy this morning<br />

Because of the snow last night<br />

<br />

I lie awake in my front porch<br />

Looking at Liberty's torch<br />

Why was I here in the first place<br />

In this place where I don't belong?<br />

<br />

Three stars to guide my way<br />

And the sun to light the day<br />

All of these make me realize<br />

That I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient Seas<br />

<br />

I lie awake in my bathtub<br />

Thinking that my mother's hum<br />

Is better than any American song<br />

I think I wanna return to where I belong<br />

<br />

Kiss under mistletoes<br />

And winds blowing when it snows<br />

All these things mean nothing to me<br />

'Cause I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient Seas<br />

<br />

Dreams are made of five entities<br />

Three stars, the sun and me<br />

<br />

I lie awake by the bedside<br />

Thinking it's gonna be alright<br />

Well, I was never right and I've always been wrong<br />

And I just wanna go back to where I belong<br />

<br />

Peace all across the land<br />

From a kiss on grandmother's hand<br />

All I want is to be with these<br />

So I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient<br />

<br />

Seas span so many miles<br />

But seas cannot ever hide<br />

All my love for the Philippines<br />

So I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient<br />

I just wanna go back into where it's at<br />

I just wanna go back into the Pearl of the Orient Seas</
