gotta go back to the island . . .
Published Aug. 29, 2008
Sometimes you just have to turn off the tv, switch off the internet, let the p/c monitor go dark and sit out on the deck and think southeastward thoughts. Listen to the dried acorns fall as the tired old oaks release their fruit, hum along with the cricket's symphonies and count cars passing on the highway out beyond the pasture. And plan to be heading that direction on the next day off. Southeastward. Let this wind blow me that'a way. Again. And again.
"Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do without you in my life?
I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way
The hardest one to lose of all the games we played
But the time is past for living in a dream world
Lying to myself can't make that scene
Of wondering 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 (sit and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you (yes, and I'll be thinking of you)
And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been)
Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry)
Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die)
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
Well all the fun has died, 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 played
Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island"
