Island Feeling

How many teardrops must I cry
'Fore I let you pass on by?
'Cause this island feelin', no-no, this island feeling
I just want it to pass on by

Well, lose the ground, but we're bound
Only teardrops can be found
This island singin', we're both still drinkin'
But when the morning comes, I know you'll be gone
I'm packing my bags, you're movin' on and on
Fire's still burnin', embers on ashes
Now take it on back, take it on back

How many teardrops must I cry
'Fore I let you pass on by?
'Cause this island feelin', no-no island feeling
I just want it to pass on by, go on

When the night closes, and you're left with no one
Me call it island feelin' 'cause me left all alone
Now been on the pavement 'cause me got no money
Only sweet-sweet lovin' is what me offerin'
'Cause if you want to call, you know you got to be leavin'
Now baby girl like quicksand, girl, you got me, got me sinkin' all alone

Lose the ground, but we're bound
Teardrops can be found
This island singin', we're both still drinkin'
But when the morning comes, I know you'll be gone
Packing your shit, you're movin' so far on
Fire's still burnin', embers on ashes
Now take it on back, take it on back

How many teardrops must I cry
'Fore I let you pass on by?
'Cause this island feelin', no-no, this island feeling
I just want it to pass on by
'Cause this island feelin', no-no, this island feeling
I just want it to pass on by
'Cause this island feelin', no-no, this island feeling
I just want it to pass on by
