lyrics

Look out the window tonight
It’s coming down white
I know it’s so magical
But scraping off ice
I’ve done twice this morning
So maybe I’ll go south this year
Wouldn’t that be nice?


I’m dreaming of an island christmas
Between the thirtieth parallels
Any spit of land with a beach and a band
And a chance to raise some hell
Snow is pretty when it covers the city
And a slay ride sure is fun
But just this year I want good cheer
In a t-shirt with a bottle of rum


You see them in the magazines
You see them on TV
Relaxed and calm under a palm
Oh what a pretty scene
So sign me up, take my card
If I can’t pay it back oh well
I’ll still have an island christmas
Between the thirtieth parallels


I won’t forget to call
And I promise to find
A present for you
From the market just in time
For my flight back home
That maybe will be cancelled
Due to over-sunny weather
And an overcrowded dancehall oh


I’m dreaming of an island christmas
Could be Capricorn or Cancer
See Saint Nick, sweaty and pink
Tongues lolling out of Donner and Prancer
Any spit of land with a beach and a band
And of course once let them ring them bells
I’m dreaming of an island christmas
Between the thirtieth parallels


I won’t forget to call
I promise to find
A present for you all
From the market just in time
For my flight back home
That maybe will be cancelled
Due to over-sunny weather
And an overcrowded dancehall oh


I’m dreaming of an island christmas
Could be Capricorn or Cancer
A little white lie could lose my suit and tie
No phones I have to answer
Any spit of land with a beach and a band
And a harbor filled with sails
I’m dreaming of an island christmas
Between the thirtieth parallels

Owen Plant & Brother Vic Saint Simons Island, Georgia

Jamaican-Born, Singer/Songwriter/Performer Owen Plant's style is reminiscent of artists from the '70s, old-time reggae groups and contemporary acoustic artists. His laid back, soothing and delicately honed vocals and songwriting are the center pieces of his sound.

His forthcoming LP, “I Was on the Moon” is his most ambitious in scope. It is slated for release early summer 2016. ... more
