Ke Mele, "Molokai', Sweet Home" (A Song)
molokai shore
Off in the Distance
Moloka`i Sweet HomeEvening sky Molokai in distance
D
I feel your evening breeze tonight,
A7
Moloka`i I¹m longing for your laughterMolokai cliffs
D
I gaze upon your silent shores
A7
Reminisce that sweet embrace of ginger
D G
As New York City walls closed in
D A7
I longed for the touch of an island, Moloka`iSlient Shores
G D A7
Moloka`i sweet homeMolokaii Surf,the islands of Lanai, and Maui in the distance
D
So tutu (Grandma) rest your weary eyes
A7
I`ve missed your smiles and lullabies in the evening timeCountry Church Molokai
D
It`s been so long since I`ve been home
A7
I`ve missed the morning sunrise of the countryside
D G
I`ve gone so far to find my way
D A7
This time I think I`ll stay with an island, Moloka`ideserted beach Molokai
G D A7
Moloka`i sweet homekauapaupau leper colony
