Lyrics

This island this island this island of mine
The weather is perfect there's fruit on the vine
This island this island where dreams come true
You said we'd have it all and I believed you

This island this island was made for you and me
It could be anywhere, where we want it to be
This island this island the place we call home
Until the day you flew away and left me all alone

Save me oh save me save me oh please
Dreams like this do exist is what I believe
Save me oh save me save me oh please
Dreams like this do exist I believe

Oooo I watch as you fly out to sea
And wonder when you'll fly back to me
Oooh baby this island's now cold
I live in hope but I fear growing old

This island this island this island of mine
Where you left me holding nothing but time
Watching and waiting the sail boats pass by
Followed by seabirds they fall down from the sky

Save me oh save me save me oh please
Dreams like this do exist is what I believe
Save me oh save me save me oh please
Dreams like this do exist I believe

I believe
