Lyrics by Buddy Bernie
Blow Tropic wind, sing a song to the trees
Trees sigh to me, soon my love I will see
Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me there grows a rhythmic savage beat
Love is ev’rywhere, its magic perfume fills the air
