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, hmmm

 Wonder where I'm going

The very last time that you saw me off I thought that 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, hmmm

 Don t know where I'm going

break

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, hmmm

 Wonder where I'm going
