The summer breeze sings a melody Pa**ing through her ears But where could she be I want to know her, where could she be Evening skies Night time lullabies They mean so much more when She's by my side I want to know her, where could she be Throw me out in the cold ocean waves 'Til I finally reach her shore They tell me life is for loving What's loving for She's an island in the ocean Close to no one Yeah she's an island And I gotta reach her Before someone else does The morning tide leaves me sleepy-eyed And a man can't swim when his hands are tied I want to know her, where could she be
She calls my name, hangs around my door And her scattered maps decorate my floor I want to know her, where could she be Throw me out in the cold ocean waves 'Til I finally reach her shore They tell me life is for loving What's loving for She's an island in the ocean Close to no one Yeah she's an island And I gotta reach her Before someone else does Just like the sand upon her beach I'll take her hand but she won't reach Just like the sand upon her beach I'll take her hand but she won't reach For me And she says This is where I belong (this where I belong long)
