[00:00.00]	作词 : Anderson
[00:27.14]	Let me tell you a story about Kokovoko
[00:32.82]	The island where I come from
[00:38.16]	The beaches are littered with rotten coconuts
[00:44.01]	And there are pieces of old skulls lying all around
[00:50.14]	Jewels and sand and rising water
[00:52.95]	Visions I've seen and cries I've heard
[00:58.60]	I can't put these things into words
[01:00.57]	Might as well put some beans
[01:04.07]	In a hollow gourd and shake it,shake it
[01:18.88]	I've floated on an icecap with a white polar bear
[01:22.70]	I've floated up and down the golden stairs
[01:26.40]	I've seen whales and caught in sails all twiskeetwee
[01:31.56]	But me?I don't say much
[01:42.09]	Jewels and sand and rising water
[01:45.78]	Visions I've seen and cries I've heard
[01:50.41]	I can't put these things into words
[01:53.53]	Might as well put some beans
[01:55.97]	In a hollow gourd
[02:34.05]	There are lots of people who talk just to hear the sound
[02:39.35]	The sound,the sound of their own voices
[02:44.98]	But take an empty shell and put it up to your ear
[02:51.05]	You can hear the ocean rumbling around in there
[02:57.12]	Ooo the greasy wheel it goes round
[03:02.43]	The humming of the breeze it makes a whishing
[03:05.11]	and whirring sound
[03:08.18]	The sudden silence when the burning sun goes down
[03:31.36]	Jewels and sand and rising water
[03:34.92]	Visions I've seen and cries I've heard
[03:39.24]	I can't put these things into words
[03:42.80]	Might as well put some beans
[03:45.49]	In a hollow gourd and shake it,shake it
