Lyrics
Oh, island boy, I'm not your toy
I'm not your object of desire
Has gone away, now every day
I cry for you
Oh, island boy, it's not my choice
That you are leaving me this way
But I can only hope that summer skies
Will bring you back to stay
Just when I thought it was safe to dream
I saw you leaving me forever it seems
Just when I thought it was safe to dream
I saw you sail away (sail away) on blue island streams
Whoa, oh, my island boy
Whoa, oh, my island boy
Oh, island boy, there is no joy
There is no reason to pretend
You will return
So I must learn to face the pain
Oh, island boy, I see you toyed
With my affection and my pride
But now you're gone I know that I can find
A paradise that's mine
Just when I thought it was safe to dream
I saw you leaving me (leaving me) forever it seems
Just when I thought it was safe to dream
I saw you sail away (sail away) on blue island streams
Whoa, oh, my island boy
Whoa, oh, my island boy
Whoa
Whoa, oh, my island boy
Yeah
On blue island streams
Whoa, oh, my island boy
