guitar chords lyrics
Day by day they drink and dream,
Old man 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
That little lady lover,
She´s in love with me,
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,
On the island, living on the island...
I wanna see that sunlight in your eyes,
And let it blow my worries away,
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
I think I've gone and made my big mistake,
I took her swimming, we had a fight,
Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight
And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
Under the moon and the stars,
I think I'm heading for a night on the river,
Me and my beating heart, singing in the dark,
Ohh ohh ohh ...
Once in a dream I was falling in love
With someone who looked a lot like you,
And just as our lips were starting to kiss,
I woke up on the floor
It's one of those nights for standing around
And talking to people that I hardly know,
An incoming tone is up on my phone,
It was an SMS, and it said;
"Save me, I think I've had enough of this,
Save me, you are the one who can
Save me, take me away from here"
Ohh ohh ohh...
This is the place to be on a night so fine,
This is the way to be on a night so fine,
Everybody's on the walking street, with Spanish wine,
So let´s go down to that little place,
Where we had those long romantic nights,
And drink to the memories of what you mean to me
Ohh ohh ohh...
Crying, laughing half a world away,
We´ll be crying, laughing for the love we have,
When you go away,
Ohh ohh ohh...
And I need tender hands to hold me,
I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Will you lay them on my eyes,
And I need tender hands to take me,
All the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over,
I need tender hands
To hold me through the night,
Ohh ohh ohh...
And I´ve been missing you,
More than words can say,
More than words can say,
Lady love, go back to sleep,
Dry the tears from your eyes,
But I cannot stay with thee
Until the morning,
Cause the dawn is breaking,
And my ship is waiting for me,
And I must go,
But I'll be back, yes,
Before this year is over,
And I have brought you silver,
And I have brought you gold,
And spices from the Indies in the hold,
Ohh ohh ohh...
