Wish I had a tiny island, floating in the sea
Palm trees sway, they don’t get in the way
In a tropical breeze
And everywhere I kept my silence
No sound returns to me
Just endless waves, at the end of our days,
The sighing of the sea
But yesterday’s gone
I don’t know where I come from
Wonder where I’m goin’
The very last time you saw me off, It was understood
That I would be gone for a very long time
But I’d be gone for good
And all that time, all the time
I thought you’d never fall
It did not dawn across my mind
The time that you lost it all
Sometimes I feel just like a tiny island
Floating in the sea
With endless waves, and the love that you gave
Washing over me
And everywhere I keep my silence
No sound returns to me
