Gerry Rafferty - Island lyrics

Wake up my love

the sun is shinin' out there

blue sky up above

It'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 life

We've been strangers for so long

Now that I feel like I know you again

I want to stay.

So long ago (yeah)

We had a love so warm and bright

when we had just begun

That 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 right

It's gettin' closer now everyday

Now that I feel like I know you again

I want to stay.

((Sha la la sha la la))

You know that on my own I don't make it alone

I need someone who needs me

I only know that wherever you are

I want to be.

But from now on,

we won't worry about a thing, yeah

the past is gone

This is our last day (yeah),

we're gonna make sweet love before we sail away

((Sha la la sha la la))
