Lyrics The Island - Timothy B. Schmit

The Island

I had to get away
So I came to the island
I just couldn’t stay
Now I’m here on the island
Nothin' to do but stare at the palm trees
Kick off my shoes and feel that tropical breeze
I feel so fine
Now that I’m on the island
There’s no freeway in sight
On this beautiful island
I’m mesmerized, feeling so weightless
I could just cry, this is real success
Why should I leave?
When it’s so crystal clear
One look in my eyes
And you can see that I should stay right here
Umbrella drink
Such a wonderful potion
It’s just what I need
After a swim in the ocean
Sunset deluxe is what I live for
Moonlight above will shine it’s light on the shore
Why should I leave?
When it’s so crystal clear
One look in my eyes
And you can see that I should stay right here
What’s that I see?
Another perfect rainbow
So come stay with me
We’ll listen to the trade winds blow
Breathe in, breathe out and take time to
Cosmically shout in island gratitude
