Island

By: Jimmy Buffett, David Loggins 1980 For Jane Island I see you in the distance I feel that your existence Is not unlike my own Island they say no man is like you They say you stand alone Sometimes I feel that way too It's the need for love Heart and soul accompaniment Seems to make me different from you Chorus: Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports And I tried to sail in, but your wind and waters Tore my sails and broke all my oars Island I see you in the moonlight Silhouettes of ships in the night Just make me want that much more Island I see you in all of my dreams Maybe someday I'll have the means to reach your distant shores When the need for love Heart and soul accompaniment No longer makes me different from you Chorus: Well I tried to build bridges But they all fell down And I've taken to the air on wings of silver But I always hit the ground (Instrumental) Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports And I tried to sail in, but your wind and waters Tore my sails and broke all my oars Island I see you in the moonlight Silhouettes of ships in the night Just make me want that much more
