Carly Simon Island Lyrics

Island Lyrics

I'm an island

Everyone can see that I'm an island

I've got ocean
just about everywhere that I can see

And I'll be stranded unless you come
to me

And I'm lonely



I would rather fall from grace
completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would rather bet my
life against the rising of the sun



Can't be too careful bout the
friends you keep around you

Some who never let you down

Some who
fail you every day

And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy

It
amazes me



I would rather fall from grace completely

Than let
you change my mind

And I would rather bet my life against the rising of
the sun



I'm an island

Can't you understand me?

I'm an
island?

And I'm finally by myself, the way I've got to be

And
that's exactly the thing that's been killing me



I would rather
fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would
rather bet my life against the rising of the sun



I would rather
fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would
rather bet my life against the rising of the sun



I would rather
fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would
rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

The rising…
