Lyrics

The Island

Verse 1

On a little island in the southern sea
The moonbeams glisten through a coconut tree
And the waves, always crashing the shore

Verse 2

You've got the native people in the village square
They always stay the same, they never go nowhere
And the waves, keep crashing the shore
They never go nowhere, always crashing the shore

Verse 3

A hundred years go by and its the same old thing
The people always laugh, the people always sing
And the waves, still crashing the shore
Like the rhythm of life, always crashing the shore.

Ukelele solo

Pennywhistle solo

Verse 4

Come away to the island where you belong
In the rhythm of life, it's a beautiful song
With the waves, always crashing the shore
Like the rhythm of life, always crashing the shore
Like the rhythm of life, forever crashing the shore

Fade Out

Back to the island, back to the island, back to the island, back to the island, back to the island, oooh always crashing the shore, back to the island...
