jimmy buffett – island lyrics
by: jimmy buffett, david loggins
1980
for jane
island i see you in the distance
i feel that your existence
is not unlike my own
island they say no man is like you
they say you stand alone
sometimes i feel that way too
it’s the need for love
heart and soul accompaniment
seems to make me different from you
chorus:
well i tried to book p-ssage, but you have no ports
and i tried to sail in, but your wind and waters
tore my sails and broke all my oars
island i see you in the moonlight
silhouettes of ships in the night
just make me want that much more
island i see you in all of my dreams
maybe someday i’ll have the means to reach your distant sh-r-s
when the need for love
heart and soul accompaniment
no longer makes me different from you
chorus:
well i tried to build bridges
but they all fell down
and i’ve taken to the air on wings of silver
but i always h-t the ground
(instrumental)
well i tried to book p-ssage, but you have no ports
and i tried to sail in, but your wind and waters
tore my sails and broke all my oars
island i see you in the moonlight
silhouettes of ships in the night
just make me want that much more
