Boys in Shorts - The Island

On the island, I did know
A foreign traveler with hair like snow
A laugh like a skipping stone carelessly thrown
And eyes like a lighthouse, they can
Guide you home

There's nothing like love when it fixes on you
It makes you see colors, the reds and the blues
But when she sailed off for adventure I knew
My heart was a passenger on
That boat too

She left nothing but the memories
Bittersweet they're not much company
A blue little bird sings passionately
If love is for fools, then a fool in love
I will be

And once a month when the tide was low
She'd come back to visit and I'd feel at home
We'd run through the hills in the cityscape glow
But when the tide rolled in I'd be
On my own

And I asked her just please could you stay for awhile
I'll make a small life for us here on the isle
Darling I'm begging you turn around please
But oh
She always leaves

You can't hold on to a memory
It makes sixty years feel like twenty-three
A blue little bird sings passionately
But only for fools and it only did sing
For me
