They say there's an isle, an ocean away
Where time doesn't care
It's dreamin' and swayin'
Plenty food and plenty wine
People dancing in the fine

A sure way to go, the island so free
You close both your eyes, believe what you see

You'll be there in no time flat
Baby, this is where it's at

The winds are so warm, you wear just a smile
You eat and you love, alive all the while
But beware the happiness
You get lost in loneliness

The mist from the sea will hide you away
The game that you play
Will turn night to day
You'll be gone for sure, my friend
While a taxi wait to end, oh
