Island

Sometimes it seems like only yesterday Other times more than a million years Oh little girl, sweeter than an angel When I think of her I laugh and drown in my own tears You drew your first breath so close to me Now we've been apart for years and years She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday All I really came to say is, I still love you my sweet island Maybe time will someday build a bridge for us Somewhere further down the line As a time to call arise, I know But for you this song will show you who's on my mind She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday All I really came to say is, I still love you my sweet island Whatever they might say about my silence Remember I'm an island too We're connected by more than an ocean My blood runs in you She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday All I really came to say is, come see me I still love you my sweet island I still love you my sweet island
