Wild Pali Wind

Bob Nolan
Original copyright: Undetermined

In the wild wind of the Pali,
There’s a sigh of lovers’ parting.
He whispers, “Aloha.”
Just the sweetest word he can say.
As it echoes through the island
From the cliff top to the valley,
The high wind of the Pali
Carries his “Aloha” away.

With flowers she decked him
And asked the spirit to direct him.
Her love will protect him
Upon that strange new shore.
She’ll be waiting for his love call
In the wild wind of the Pali.
It won’t be “Aloha”
When he comes to leave her no more.

These words were copied from a demo tape by Bob Nolan with unidentified steel guitar accompaniment. © September 24, 1985. This is the same melody as the first version which had been recorded in 1969 (with slightly altered words). It is in the Bob Nolan Music of the West catalog, listed separately from “Pali Wind”. BMI lists both titles.
