Dedicated to a Man called - Chandragupta Wijayatillake


Globe Trotter

You been around the world a lot
Wonderful places you have trot
Beautiful faces you may have met
Historic sites you sure have seen
What great knowledge you must have
Adventures plenty you surely have tried
A fascinating life you must have

Those that meet you must be in awe
To know a man like you
Around they gather to hear stories told
They must really think you are great
Starry eyed damsels do they gaze at you
And you sweep them off their feet
Around you to be must be a fantastic feat
At a time like that you will feel the heat
Top of the world you'll be
You are wonderful man
A beautiful life you have
What more can I wish for you

But with all that trotting around the world
Are you happy and free as a bird
Have you found that love, that perfect love
A love we all so desire
When your eyes do meet
That fire do you feel
When she holds onto you and looks to your eyes
Does that flame consume your soul
Where you feel afloat, over the stars and moon
Do have the urge to hold her tight
So she will never get up and go
When she wants to leave, will it make you reel
Will turn around and tell her don't go
Is this what you feel you surely know
This is the perfect love for you

But then I know you a bit too well
A man for lust but not for love
Every woman you want, but none to love
Are you sacred to love,
It makes you run like mad
Shut it away from love

Now is the time to light up your soul
With a perfect love that meant for you
Is it worth my time to write about love
You'll only laugh and sneer and joke
Then I take your leave
There's no need to grieve
I know you will be happy
Trotting the Globe.
