Remember the days of summer and dance
When the sailors would come
With tales of mystique and romance
Talk into my talking book
I'd treasure words you'd say
Take my love on the waves
Away away
Away away away
Away away away
I once was the child to shy to show my face
I would sing all my songs
From my secret hiding place
Returning to my picture book
Remembering the days
I'd cry from my heart
Tiger Bay
Away away away
Away away away
There is a place I should be this I know
To be true to myself I must go
I've coloured the world my unusual way
Now this is my life
And I've lived it my way
Storms have tempered all is calm
I'm treasuring the days
Singing loud from my heart
Tiger Bay
Away away away
Away away away
There is a place I should be this I know
To be true to myself I must go
These are the days of the dance
Caught on the wave of romance
There is a place I should be this I know
To be true to myself I must go
Away away away
Away away away
There is a place I should be this I know
To be true to myself I must go
Away away away
Away away away
