To the Island

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm running away to the island Going to make me a bed in the sun I can't seem to stop all the madness Now I'm fighting like everyone Give me a break in the concrete Just you watch me slippin' through And tear me a hole in these cold gray city skies Get me a better view [Chorus] Oh, that life sure makes you poor Ooh Oh, I've lost so much before [Verse 2] I'm running away to the island Yes, I've put in plenty time here And gimme the feel of a long day Slowly pullin' me through the years Oh, making me your sweet companion Lady with all the smiles We'd be layin' us down in the hot sand Happiness, I could forget the miles [Chorus] Pull your arms around me now Ooh Greens and blues surround me now [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Pull your arms around me now Ooh Greens and blues surround me now Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Outro] I'm running away to the island Oh yeah, yeah I'm running away to the island Oh yeah, yeah, yeah I'm taking me my sweet companion We'd be running away to the island
