Lyrics

Islander
copyright © 2011 Richard F. Neal

She was my sugar she was my spice
In her arms a slice of paradise
Now she's left me and I'm all alone
Stranded on an island of my own

{chorus}
All by myself
Since I lost her
Stuck on this deserted isle
I'm an Islander

Not thirsty don't want no food
My only companion is solitude
Days are hot endless nights
I scan the horizon no help in sight

{chorus}

I'll quit this island won't be deterred
Purge my mind of all thoughts of her
Build a raft with my skin for a sail
My bones for a mast or ride in the belly of a whale

{chorus}
