Island Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty
Album: City to City

Wake up my love, the sun is shininâ‚¬â„¢ out there, blue sky up above
Itâ‚¬â„¢s a brand new day, letâ‚¬â„¢s walk outside and let that breeze blow all our cares away.

You know that way back there in that city life
Weâ‚¬â„¢ve been strangers for so long
Now that I feel like I know you again
I want to stay.

So long ago (yeah), we had a love so warm and bright when we had just begun
That was my last dream, since then Iâ‚¬â„¢ve watched the rest crumble one by one.

Since weâ‚¬â„¢ve been runninâ‚¬â„¢ silent yeah itâ‚¬â„¢s felt so right
Itâ‚¬â„¢s gettinâ‚¬â„¢ closer now everyday
Now that I feel like I know you again
I want to stay.

(sha la la sha la la)

You know that on my own I donâ‚¬â„¢t make it alone
I need someone who needs me
I only know that wherever you are
I want to be.

But from now on, we wonâ‚¬â„¢t worry about a thing, yeah the past is gone
This is our last day (yeah), weâ‚¬â„¢re gonna make sweet love before we sail away.

(fade)
sha la la sha la la
