Full Moon, Eden Ahbez

Eden s Island (1960) by Eden Ahbez A space age pop masterpiece, one of the weirdest exotica records ever created, made by the writer of Nat King Cole s 1948 number, 1 single Nature Boy. To live in an old shack by the sea And breathe the sweet salt air To live with the dawn and the dusk The new moon and the full moon The tides the wind and the To surf and comb the beach And gather sea shells and driftwood And know the thrill of loneliness And lose all sense of time And be free To hike over the island to the village And visit the marketplace And enjoy the music and the food and the people And do a little trading And see the great ships come and go And, man, have me a ball And in the evening When the sky is on fire Heaven and earth become my great open cathedral Where all men are brothers Where all things are bound by law And crowned with love Poor, alone and happy I walk by
