island of life

oooh lord no

goddamn

when your world is passing you by

you're feelin' getting late

you want to find a key that will open up

those silver gates

you keep thinkin' that i gave it up

and in every little way

here i come again

oooh don'cha know

wind blows across the sand

and there's a sleepin' haze

seems most like it always has

and i think of better days

oh and last year about this time

i got myself a daze

the island that i was searchin' for

was just a breeze away

keep thinkin' that i shook it off

and in every little way

whatcha think i don't know no better

oh oh don'cha know

there's a reason to see

there's a reason to life

but our heart's in your hand

you hardly know it's alive

ahhh wahoo

sing a song of seven years

and i sing a song of my way

i sing a song oh baby for you

show you how i play

i keep thinkin' that i'll wake up

and find myself alone

on an island full of promises

standin' all on my own

you keep thinkin' that i gave it up

and in every little way

here i come again

don'cha know

ooooh yeahhh
