- Description
- "We long for our homes. We should call ours homes 'Towns'. Mary has deceived me." The attraction of the towns is decimating the male population of Tongaland. The singer makes a plea for the claim of their village homes in the face of foreign attractions. He is blind and he hoped Mary would have married him, but she could not bring herself to do so. Nostaligic song
