Jimmy Buffett Back To The Island Lyrics

Back To The Island Lyrics

Now the day is gone

And I sit alone and think of you, girl

What could I do

Without you in my life?



Wonderin' 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



And watch the sun go down

(And watch the sun go down)

Hear the sea roll in

  (Listen to the sea roll in)



But 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



Oh, 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

With all the games we played

Well, I hope you understand

I just had to go back to the island



And watch the sun go down

(Sit and watch the sun go down)

Hear the sea roll in

  (Listen to the sea roll in)



But 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



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 baby, 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
