Back to the Island versuri

Versuri Leon Russell – Back to the Island lyrics

Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do without you in my life?
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played

But the time is past for living in a dream world
Lying to myself can’t make that scene
Of wondering if you love me or just making a fool of me
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island

And watch the sun go down (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 islan
For all 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)
And 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 (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
Watch the ships come in (sit and watch the sun go down)
Wonder where they’ve been (listen to the sea roll in)
But I’ll be thinking of you, darling (yes and I’ll be thinking of you)
