about
Written in 2011 by Tama Waipara and first performed at the concert Tīramarama for Matariki, this song was performed as a duet with Maisey Rika for a television appearance and lived most of its life on YouTube, on stage and in whare across Te Tairāwhiti.
lyrics
I know a place where the sun begins
Starts each day with a face full of good living
Throws a line from the sea and then reels me in
And I stay, there I stay
People know what it means when the tide is in
It's the best place to learn how to sink or swim
Throw a line to my heart and reel me in
This is good living
I wanna be under an east coast moon
Humming a familiar tune
Under an east coast moon
I can handle solitude
But I'd rather be underneath an east moon with you
All the lights' reflections are a ripple of the love we share
And all my life's intentions seem to lead me back there
Under an east coast moon
Humming a familiar tune
Under my east coast moon
with a Coastie attitude
Under an east coast moon
I handle solitude
but I'd rather be underneath
Savouring the memories
Holding on to what we used to be
I know a place where the sun begins
