Now the day is gone, and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do, without you, in my life?
Wondering 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
ย
And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)
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
ย
For all of the sunny sky, 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, for all the games we played
Well, I hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island
ย
And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)
Oh, 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
ย
Sit and watch the sun go down (Oh yeah!)
Listen to the sea roll in (Sea rolls in)
Yes, and I'll be thinking of you (Always thinking of you)
(What about me?) Thinking how it might have been
Listen to the night birds cry
Sit and watch the sunset die
Well, I hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island
