Lyrics

Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What could I do without you in my life?
Or 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, hear the sea roll in
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
Hear the night birds cry, watch the sunset die
Well, I hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island
For all of the sunny skies, 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
And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
Hear the night birds cry, 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
Listen to the sea roll in, sea rolls in
Always thinking of you, baby
What about me?
