This Island Life

Here on the bay the days drift away in this island life
Only the seabirds to wake me each morning
Only my footprints out here on the beach
Only the clouds there on the horizon
I'm still all alone
The reef can't be crossed so I'm remain lost in this island life

There's much to entice in the paradise of this island life
Mountains as green as the emeralds within them
Flowers in colors of sunsets and wine
Tumbling rivers as boisterous as children
Rush down to the sea
I wish I could share the scent of the air in this island life

Walking alone is all I've ever known in this island life
My voice is drowned in the surf's endless pounding
My signal fire went out in the rain
The note in the bottle I cast in the ocean
Came right back to me
Why even try? I can't say good-bye to this island life

 

The earth is an island. While it's nice to have the privacy, it's such a beautiful place that it would nice to share it, but as far as we know, no one else ever comes here. Featured instruments are a marimba and a unique bottle top shaker.
