Matthew Wilder - I Don't Speak The Language lyrics

I was a banker A family man Working in Paris When I began Living my daydreams I left my wife Sailed for the islands To start a new life Down in the tropics A colorful world Green of the ocean And brown native girls Now I'm an artist And I see nothing wrong To paint Tahitian Without a sarong, oh no You know I don't speak the language But I still understand It's in the move of her body And in the touch of her hand You know I don't speak the language Am I a mad man To follow the sun When it's every man's dream To do what I've done Oh, no needs, no worries And no sense of time She's Polynesian And she is all mine Today I'll paint her In yellows and reds Tonight we'll make love With stars overhead, oh no You know I don't speak the language But I still understand It's in the move of her body And in the touch of her hand You know I don't speak the language You know I don't speak the language But I still understand It's in the move of her body And in the touch of her hand You know I don't speak the language I left the temple Of civilized man To dance the tango Utopian Mmm, how can I leave here How can I go back? The life here is so Aphrodisiac Her eyes, her lips And the smell of her hair Make me a savage And I cease to care, oh no You know I don't speak the language But I still understand It's in the move of her body And in the touch of her hand You know I don't speak the language
