Back To The Island

Back to the Island by Leon Russell

Capo up 1 fret

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 has passed for living in a dream world

And 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, hear the sea roll in

But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been

Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down

Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island.

For all the sunny skies 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

And watch the sun go down, hear the sea roll in

But I'll be thinking of you and how it might have been

Hear the nightbird cry and watch the sunset down

Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island.
