Tiny Island

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
Wonder where I’m going

The very last time that you saw me off
I thought 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
Don’t know where I’m going

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
Wonder where I’m going
