Jimmy Buffett Lyrics

Back to the Island
by Leon Russel

Now the day is gone
And I sit alone and think of you girl
What can I do without you in my life

Wonderin' 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
And the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Hear the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set down
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island

For all the sunny skies
It's raining 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 play.
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
Oh, I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Hear the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set down
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island

Sit and watch the sun go down - Oh yeah
Listen to the sea roll in- the sea rolls in
Yes, and I'll be thinkin' of you- always thinking of you baby
What about me?
Thinkin' how it might've been
Listen to the nightbird cry
Sit and watch the sun set die
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
