Lyrics

island

as I gaze out on the rolling sea
the rise and fall of eternity
I remember my?.island
the cleansing tides on a moonlit stroll
the wash and splash of a kindred soul
growing up on my?..island

people never get tired of getting by
when so little is enough down there on
my land??..island

there came a time I thought I?d had enough
I got on the boat I was feeling tough
said goodbye to my?..island
went to the big city I?d heard about
I landed so hard I was down and out
I?d forgotten my??island

and I had a hard time just getting by
I was all washed up far away from
my land?..island

I?m packing my bags and I?m going back
the trail stops at that coconut shack
at the heart of my?.island
when I get there I?m gonna stay
happy all night and laughing all day
hanging out on my?.island

and I?ll never get tired of getting by
when so little is enough down there on
my land?island
