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
Hear (listen to) the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Hear (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

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've played.
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island

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