Lyrics Little River Band – I’m An Island

I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
I took you at your word that night
When you said get out of my life

I’m my own man, I’m an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can’t get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again
I’m an island

The sun sets on another day
I sit and drink and waste away in this old beach town
Everybody here is so laid back
I pretend to be like that
But every song still reminds me what’s behind me
I gotta get some place where you can’t find me

‘Cause I’m my own man, I’m an island
Nobody tells me what to do
But I can’t get away from you
In this ocean of your memory
Wave by wave that crashes in
And tares me down again

I’ve been stranded for a while
Girl, my biggest fear
Is I could sail a million miles and I’d still be right here

I’m my own man, I’m an island
Nobody tells me what to do

I came down here a year ago
I sold it all and bought this boat just to get away
