Gerry Rafferty › Lyrics › Island

Wake up my love
The sun is shinin’ out that blue sky up above
It’s a brand new day
Let’s walk outside and let that breeze
Blow all our cares away

You know that we been there in that city life
We’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 I’ve watched the rest crumble one by one

Since we’ve been on this island, yeah, it’s felt so right
It’s gettin’ closer now everyday
Now that I feel like I know you again
I want to stay

Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la

You know that on my own, I don’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 won’t worry about a thing, yeah, the past is gone
This is our last day, yeah
We’re gonna make sweet love before we sail away
[Incomprehensible]

Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, sha la la, sha la la
