Leilani pt.2

Dave Faulkner

(i) Prologue-

Many years have passed since Leilani died 
But his broken heart cannot be denied. 
He doesn't think of other girls, 
He just sits and mourns for her. 
She was the only thing in the world he called his, 
Now in the world she is. 

(ii) My Love is A Red Rock

Swimming by himself 
He found a pretty rock 
Well, suddenly he felt 
That stone begin to talk ('Lani-bi-lani-lei-') 
It was his long-lost love 
That he held in his hand 
The pebble's colour was identical to her tan. 

Now she's a rock 
From a volcanic pool. 
Before she was hot 
But now she is cool. 
Now she is here, Now she is there,
Now she's getting carried away.
My love is a red, red rock 
My love is a red rock. 

Down by the lagoon, 
You'll see him with his stone. 
They sit beneath the moon 
And then he takes her home. 
He kisses her goodnight 
And puts her in a shoebox. 
That's what life is like 
When your marriage is on the rocks.
