Jimmy Buffett - Back to the Island lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Back to the Island lyrics]
Now the day is gone and I
Sit alone and think of you, girl
What could I do without you in my life?
Or wonderin' if you love me
Or just makin' a fool of me
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
But I'll be thinking of you and
How it might have been
Hear the night birds cry
Watch the sunset die
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
For all of the sunny skies
It's raining in my heart
I know down in my soul
I'm really gonna miss you
But it had to end this way
With all the games we played
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
(sit and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in
(listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you
(yes, and I'll be thinking of you)
And how it might have been
(thinking how it might have been)
Hear the night birds cry
(listen to the night birds cry)
Watch the sunset die
(sit and watch the sunset die)
Well I hope you understand I just had
To go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
But I'll be thinking of you and
How it might have been
Hear the night birds cry
Watch the sunset die
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
Sit and watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in, sea rolls in
Always thinking of you, baby what about me?
Sit alone and think of you, girl
What could I do without you in my life?
Or wonderin' if you love me
Or just makin' a fool of me
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
But I'll be thinking of you and
How it might have been
Hear the night birds cry
Watch the sunset die
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
For all of the sunny skies
It's raining in my heart
I know down in my soul
I'm really gonna miss you
But it had to end this way
With all the games we played
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
(sit and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in
(listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you
(yes, and I'll be thinking of you)
And how it might have been
(thinking how it might have been)
Hear the night birds cry
(listen to the night birds cry)
Watch the sunset die
(sit and watch the sunset die)
Well I hope you understand I just had
To go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
But I'll be thinking of you and
How it might have been
Hear the night birds cry
Watch the sunset die
Well, I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
Sit and watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in, sea rolls in
Always thinking of you, baby what about me?
