St. Elsewhere

[Verse 1]

I packed a few of my belongings

Left the life that I was living

Just some memories of it

Mostly, the ones I can't forget

Ah, whenever you need me, I'll be here

Until then, my dear

I'm going, I'm going, going there

Don't ask me to make time, to travel back and forth

Let nature take its course

Maybe I'm open from all this ocean air

[Chorus]

And if it weren't for you

I'd be without a care

Settin' sail to St. Elsewhere, yeah

[Verse 2]

Anywhere you sit, you can see the sun

Unfortunately, on this island, I'm the only one (One)

Same rules apply on a rainy day

And it's not such a pretty place to be

It just rains, and rains, and rains, on me

Send a simple sign I can understand

Then a flower grew out that sand

Before you know it, I was back out on that sea

[Chorus]

Now, I don't mind it so much

Because as long as I'm not there

Anywhere, St. Elsewhere, yeah

[Verse 3]

Way over yonder, there's a new frontier

Would it be so hard for you to come and visit me here?

I understand

Well, just send me a message in a bottle, then, baby

[Outro]
