The Island Lyrics

I barely recognized you standing there

It's clear to me that one thing hasn't changed

You haven't found the strength to leave the island yet

I can tell by the way you hold your head

Your teeth used to rival the sun

And your eyes could take an army down, one shot

And the water would roll right off your skin

Now your tears pool and run through the wrinkles

As if they were veins

I had built you a boat to get away on

But it was something about not letting down God

If you ever think of yourself again

I hid the boat down by the ocean

Put the sail in the wind

I hid the boat down by the ocean

Put the sail in the wind

Don't think that time stopped turning hands

Just because you lost your hourglass in the sand

Do you ever stand out on the beach

And wonder what it might be like to set sea

Your teeth used to rival the sun

And your eyes could take an army down, one shot

And the water would roll right off your skin

And now your tears pool and run through the wrinkles

As if they were veins

I had built you a boat to get away on

But it was something about not letting down God

If you ever think of yourself again

I hid the boat down by the ocean

Put the sail in the wind

I hid the boat down by the ocean

Put the sail in the wind

Your teeth used to rival the sun

And your eyes could take an army down one shot

And the water would roll right off your skin

Now your tears pool and run through the wrinkles

As if they were veins

I had built you a boat to get away on

But it was something about not letting down God

If you ever think of yourself again

I hid the boat down by the ocean

Put the sail in the wind

I hid the boat down by the ocean

Put the sail in the wind
