Jimmy Buffett - Island lyrics

Your rating:

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 passage, 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 shores 

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 hit the ground 



(instrumental) 



Well I tried to book passage, 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
