Sometimes it seems like only yesterday

Other times more than a million years

Oh little girl, sweeter than an angel

When I think of her I laugh and drown in my own tears

You drew your first breath so close to me

Now we've been apart for years and years

She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday

All I really came to say is, I still love you my sweet island

Maybe time will someday build a bridge for us

Somewhere further down the line

As the time to call arise, I know

But for you this song will show you who's on my mind

She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday

All I really came to say is, I still love you my sweet island

Whatever they may say about my silence

Remember I'm an island too

We're connected by more than an ocean

My blood runs in you

She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday

All I really came to say is, come see me

I still love you my sweet island

I still love you my sweet island
