The Island - Timothy B. Schmit

I had to get away

So I came to the island

I just couldn’t stay

Now I’m here on the island

Nothin' to do but stare at the palm trees

Kick off my shoes and feel that tropical breeze

I feel so fine

Now that I’m on the island

There’s no freeway in sight

On this beautiful island

I’m mesmerized, feeling so weightless

I could just cry, this is real success

Why should I leave?

When it’s so crystal clear

One look in my eyes

And you can see that I should stay right here

Umbrella drink

Such a wonderful potion

It’s just what I need

After a swim in the ocean

Sunset deluxe is what I live for

Moonlight above will shine it’s light on the shore

Why should I leave?

When it’s so crystal clear

One look in my eyes

And you can see that I should stay right here

What’s that I see?

Another perfect rainbow

So come stay with me

We’ll listen to the trade winds blow

Breathe in, breathe out and take time to

Cosmically shout in island gratitude
