Island |
| Wake up my love, the sun is shinin’out there, blue sky up above |
| It’s a brand new day, let’s walk outside and let that breeze blow all our cares |
| away. |
| You know that way back there in that city life |
| We’ve been strangers for so long |
| Now that I feel like I know you again |
| I want to stay. |
| So long ago (yeah), we had a love so warm and bright when we had just begun |
| That was my last dream, since then I’ve watched the rest crumble one by one. |
| Since we’ve been runnin’silent yeah it’s felt so right |
| It’s gettin’closer now everyday |
| Now that I feel like I know you again |
| I want to stay. |
| (sha la la sha la la) |
| You know that on my own I don’t make it alone |
| I need someone who needs me I only know that wherever you are |
| I want to be. |
| But from now on, we won’t worry about a thing, yeah the past is gone |
| This is our last day (yeah), we’re gonna make sweet love before we sail away. |
| (fade) |
