Carly Simon - Island lyrics

rate me

I'm an island

Everyone can see that I'm an island

I've got ocean just about everywhere that I can see

And I'll be stranded unless you come to me

And I'm lonely

I would rather fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

Can't be too careful bout the friends you keep around you

Some who never let you down

Some who fail you every day

And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy

It amazes me

I would rather fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

I'm an island

Can't you understand me?

I'm an island?

And I'm finally by myself, the way I've got to be

And that's exactly the thing that's been killing me

I would rather fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

I would rather fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

I would rather fall from grace completely

Than let you change my mind

And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

The rising…
