Island Bound
music and lyrics by Dave Baker
arranged for SATB choir by Larry Nickel
lyrics
It's another lonely evening
and all I've got to do
is drive to town to catch an early show,
for if I sit here, reading letters,
I'll change my mind again
and I'll call a friend back home to let her know.
That I think it's time I'm island bound again,
and I think it's time I change the way I've been.
Every road always ends
in fading hopes and forgotten dreams.
I think it's time I'm island bound again,
You know, I thought it might be easy
to leave the past behind
and face the world alone, without a friend.
But the distant Straights of Georgia
remind me that I'm still
the kind who needs the touch of a guiding hand.
So I think it's time I'm island bound again,
and I think it's time I change the way I've been.
Every road always ends
in fading hopes and forgotten dreams.
I think it's time I'm island bound again,
