Jimmy Buffet's ode to Nicaragua (and his other favorite places)

One Particular Harbor

I know I don't get there often enough, But God knows I surely try. It's a magic kind of medicine That no doctor could prescribe.

I used to rule my world from a pay phone, Ships out on the sea. But now times are rough, Oh I got too much stuff I can't explain the likes of me.

Chorus: But there's this one particular harbor So far but yet so near. Where I see the days as they fade away, Finally disappear.

But now I think about the good times, Down in the Caribbean sunshine. In my younger days I was so bad, Laughin' about all the fun we've had.

I've seen enough to feel the world spin, Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins. Listen to the drummers and the night sounds, Listen to the singers make the world go 'round.

Lakes below the mountain, Flow into the sea. Like oils applied to canvas, Oh how they permeate through me.

But there's this one particular harbor, Sheltered from the wind. Where the children play on the shore each day, And all are safe within.

A most mysterious calling harbor, So far but yet so near. Where I see the day when my hair's full gray, And I finally disappear.
