Back To The Island

Jimmy Buffett

Now the day is gone,

And I sit alone and think of you, girl

What can I do without you in my life?

Wond'ring 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

Hear the sea roll in

I'll be thinking of you

And how it might have been

Hear the night bird cry

Watch the sunset down

Well I hope you understand

I just had to go back to the island



For all the sunny skies, it's rainin' 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

Hear the sea roll in

I'll be thinking of you

And how it might have been

Hear the night bird cry

Watch the sunset down

Well I hope you understand

I just had to go back to the island
