I hear the drums and feel the beat,
I cannot help but move my feet.

There beside the ocean blue,
she dances to the music, too.

The drums pound on, and she comes near,
soon her heartbeat I can hear.

The island breeze all through the night,
works magic with the firelight.

Now inside me there is flame,
and it is then I ask her name.

She smiled then but did not answer,
the mysterious and lovely dancer.

We danced until the night was through,
And once more I asked her
Who are you.

She smiled then, and turned away,
and I've not seen her since that day.

But sometimes, under darkened skies,
I recall the fire in her eyes.
