I wish I had a tiny island floating in the sea
Palm trees sway, don't get in the way, it's a tropical ease
And everywhere that I keep my silence, no sound returns to me
Just endless waves at the end of our days, the sighing of the seas
But yesterday's gone, I don't know where I come from, hmmm
Wonder where I'm going
The very last time that you saw me off I thought that it was understood
That I'd be gone for a very long time, I might be gone for good
And all that time, all the time, I thought you would never fall
It did not dawn across my mind the time that you lost it all
But yesterday's gone, I don't know where I come from, hmmm
Don t know where I'm going
break
Sometimes I feel like a tiny island floating in the sea
Palm trees sway, don't get in the way, it's a tropical ease
And everywhere that I keep my silence, no sound returns to me
Just endless waves at the end of our days, the sighing of the seas
But yesterday's gone, I don't know where I come from, hmmm
Wonder where I'm going
