"Island"
Wake up my love, the sun is shinin' out there, blue sky up aboveIt'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 lifeWe've been strangers for so longNow that I feel like I know you againI want to stay.
So long ago (yeah), we had a love so warm and bright when we had just begunThat 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 rightIt's gettin' closer now everydayNow that I feel like I know you againI want to stay.
(sha la la sha la la)
You know that on my own I don't make it aloneI need someone who needs meI only know that wherever you areI want to be.
But from now on, we won't worry about a thing, yeah the past is goneThis is our last day (yeah), we're gonna make sweet love before we sail away.
(fade)sha la la sha la la
