Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's on my mind
As the light fades
What you doing tonight?
Are you dancing?
Are there new tunes to play?
As I sail further away from you
[Chorus]
Far away island, I miss you
I know you think I must be lost now
But I'm not, anymore
[Verse 2]
It's on my mind
We're away now
Down, down into the shadows
I'm cut to pieces
And I am dancing alone with the moon
And the white whale
[Chorus]
Far away island, I miss you
I know you think I must be lost now
But I'm not, anymore
[Outro]
Far away island, I miss you
I know you think I must be lost now, but I'm not, anymore
Written by: A. James, D. Rowntree, Damon Albarn, G. Coxon
