Little River Band - I'm an Island Lyrics
I came down here a year agoI sold it all and bought this boat just to get awayI took you at your word that nightWhen you said get out of my lifeI left, you staid, I’ll forget you, at least I’ll try toTime to move on ‘cause that’s what I doI’m my own man, I’m an islandNobody tells me what to doBut I can’t get away from youIn this ocean of your memoryWave by wave that crashes inAnd tares me down againI’m an islandThe sun sets on another dayI sit and drink and waste away in this old beach townEverybody here is so laid backI pretend to be like thatBut every song still reminds me what’s behind meI gotta get some place where you can’t find me‘Cause I’m my own man, I’m an islandNobody tells me what to doBut I can’t get away from youIn this ocean of your memoryWave by wave that crashes inAnd tares me down againI’ve been stranded for a whileGirl, my biggest fearIs I could sail a million miles and I’d still be right hereI’m my own man, I’m an islandNobody tells me what to doBut there’s no getting over youIn this ocean of your memoryWave by wave that crashes inAnd tares me down againI’m an islandI came down here a year agoI sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
