Island - Carly Simon

I’m an island

Everyone can see that I’m an island

I’ve got ocean just about

Everywhere that I can see

So I’ll be stranded unless you come to me

And I’m lonely

I would rather fall from grace completely, than let you change my mind

I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

Can’t be too careful

About the friends you keep around you

Some won’t ever let you down

Some who’ll fail you every day

And it’s a blatant disrespect of privacy

It enrages me

I would rather fall from grace completely, than let you change my mind

I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

I’m an island

Can’t you understand me?

I’m an island

And I’m finally by myself

The way I’ve got to be

Now that’s exactly the thing that’s been killing me

I would rather fall from grace completely, than let you change my mind

I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
