BACK TO THE ISLAND - LEON RUSSELL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning:Standard
Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you girl
What can I do without you in my life.
+
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played
But the time has passed for living in a dream world
And lying to myself, can't make that scene
+
Of 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
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
Hear the nightbird cry and 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
But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been
Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down
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.
