I'm moving up the coast On a way I roam I'm gonna see what I can see I'm breaking at the bones On a fortune's ghost It's easier than talking You said I was broken But I don't seem to mind Oh, how many days float away Out across the water I wander up the road Ancient stones were high as I could see I felt it in my pulse Water was breaking up against my ankles In time I have foreseen this Written on the pale grey water Holding your hammer down You were born to tell the tale Just let the sun shine down (You said that I was broken) (But I don't seem to mind) (You said that I was broken) you said that I was broken (But I don't seem to mind) yeah, I don't seem to mind (You said that I was broken) you said that I was broken But I don't seem to mind You said that I was broken But I don't seem to mind Broken Broken I'm moving up the coast Light can be freeing I'll get out of debt this time I'm breaking at the bones On a fortune's ghost It's easier than talking You said I was broken But I don't seem to mind Oh, how many days float away Out across the water

Remember that night White steps in the moonlight They walked here too Through empty playground, this ghost's town Children again On rusting swings getting higher Sharing a dream On an island, it felt right We lay side by side Between the moon and the tide Mapping the stars for a while Let the night surround you We're halfway to the stars Ebb and flow, let it go Feel her warmth beside you Remember that night The warmth and the laughter Candles burned Though the church was deserted At dawn, we went down Through empty streets to the harbor Dreamers may leave But they're here ever after Let the night surround you We're halfway to the stars Ebb and flow, let it go Feel her warmth beside you

Day by day they drink and dream Old men staring out to sea From the island, living on the island And down in the harbour, it's a show Watching all the people as they come and go On the island, living on the island And up in the mountains, they're alright Tasting the first of the summer wine On the island, living on the island I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart And let it blow my worries away I wanna spend a night in the ocean, with her That little lady lover who's in love with me Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen On the island, living on the island Ooh, and when I finally sail away I know for sure, I'll be back some day On the island, living on the island On the island, living on the island I wanna feel that sunshine on my back On the island, living on the island On the island, we'll be living on the island I wanna feel that wind blow in my hair Living on the island...

Sitting in the sun waiting for a senorita to show, He just playing melodies from Spain and Mexico, Soft wind blowing the smell of sweet roses to, each and every one, Happy to be on an island in the sun, Mothers with their children waiting in the cool of the shade, And thirsty be por coming from the fields to drink, tea and lemonade, Old man urging, his days going, his, working days done, He's happy to be on an island in the sun, All the stars come out and shine so bright, It's so romantic to be in that moon leads paradise, Love is going to shine a welcoming light when I, Looking to the eyes of the senorita tonight, Sitting in the sun waiting for a senorita to show, He just playing melodies from Spain and Mexico, Soft wind blowing the smell of sweet roses to, each and every one, Happy to be on an island in the sun, Happy to be on an island in the sun, La la la la la la...

It's so long since I sang songs to you I forget all the words I once knew I could look back But I can't waste the time Did it matter They sometimes didn't rhyme It's so long since I sang songs for you It's so long since you smile just for me Now your smile's just an old use to be Does it matter That I can take the time Would you rather I write you one more line Can my songs once again be for you Claudie made a fool out of me Made me find another place to be I've been living alone In a house that wasn't my home With Claudie is the place I want to be When I left did you think of me crying Did you care that I felt I was dying I pretended That I don't give a damn All along I've know what I really am I'm a fool little Claudie just for you Claudie made a fool out of me Made me find another place to be I've been living alone In a house that wasn't my home With Claudie is the place I want to be

Love it seems I just can't find Love it seems I just can't find Seems that I'm the one love The one love left behind I've searched it just won't come my way I've searched it just won't come my way It's love that I want now So what more can I say Women seem to pass me by Women seem to pass me by If I could find the reason I'd know the answer why Love it seems I just can't find Love it seems I just can't find Seems that I'm the one love The one love left behind

I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home It was an invitation asking me to telephone She said, it's getting lonely here And I've been gone for close a year I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town Now the faces all look the same And all the places have the same old names But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone What can I say to you, what can I say to you? Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home It took another year before I started getting itchy toes And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes Well I reckon if she'd made me stay I'd never live to see another day I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone What can I say to you, what can I say to you? I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home Back home, I left the girl back home I left the girl back home I left the girl back home

Railroad, she left me standing on the line Railroad, she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving, never gonna come back again I'm living alone, a place of my own A bed, a chair and one back door Something went wrong with the words to my song And now she ain't around no more Something she said as she lay on my bed Six or seven hours ago I guess I was wrong I really didn't think she would go Railroad, she left me standing on the line Railroad, she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving, never gonna come back again Her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me I said her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me If I'd realised I'd be less surprised to find That she was laughing at me
