The summer breeze sings a melody
Passing 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)
