Allman Brothers Band The Island Lyrics

Island Lyrics

Sometimes it seems like yesterday

 Other times more than a million years

 Oh little girl sweeter than an angel

 When i think of her i laugh,

 And drown in my own tears

 

 You draw your first breath so close to me

 Now we've been apart for years and years

 

 She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday,

 All i really came to say is

 I still love you my sweet island

 

 Maybe times will someday build a bridge for us

 Somewhere father down the line; i know

 But for you this;

 To show you who's on my mind

 

 She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday,

 All i really came to say is

 I still love you my sweet island

 

 Whatever they may 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, tides turning everyday,

 All i really came to say is

 I still love you my sweet island
