the allman brothers band - island lyrics
sometimes it seems like only yesterday
other times more than a million years
oh, little girl … sweeter than the angels
when i think of her i laugh … and drown in my own tears
ohhh!
you drew your first breath … so close to me
now we’ve been apart for years and years
she can wash the land away … tide’s turnin’ every day
all i really came to say is … i still love you my sweet island
maybe time will someday build a bridge for us
somewhere further down the line
as the time to call arise … i know
but for you this song … to show you who’s on my mind
she can wash the land away … tide’s turnin’ every day
all i really came to say is … i still love you my sweet island
oh!
whatever they might say … about my silence
remember i’m an island too
we’re connected by more than an ocean … my blood runs in you!
she can wash the land away … tide’s turnin’ everyday
all i really came to say is … come see me, babe
i still love you, my sweet island
ohhh!
i still love you, my sweet island
