Island Lyrics

I gave you a boat so you could sail around the world
Watched you disappear into the sun
I thought you about there
In those vast wide open spaces
Wondered if you miss me
And all our favorite places

Without a destination
Drifting aimlessly to find
Keeping your eyes open for a home
You stumbled on your port of call
You set your anchors deep
Learned another language
one that I could never speak

Ooh and I, I can see you smiling
On every waterline horizon
If you’re lost, I’ll be your island

Before you left we talked about
If you’d be coming back
And “I don’t know” was all that you could say
I remember walking to the docks to wave goodbye
I promised that I wouldn’t
But I couldn’t help but cry

I got a couple phone calls
Some postcards in the mail
To let me know that you were still alive
One time I thought I saw you
In the square under the clock
I felt such like such a fool
I chased a stranger seven blocks

Ooh and I, I can see you smiling
On every waterline horizon
If you’re lost, I’ll be your island

I set out to find you once
Naïve I never dreamed
That maybe you’d prefer to be alone
No sooner did I find you
That I gave you to the sea
I wish I’d been the sailor that you wanted me to be

Ooh and I, I can see you smiling
On every waterline horizon
If you’re lost, I’ll be your island
I will be your island
I’ll be your island

I gave you a boat so you could sail around the world
