When you first come to the island you walk the shoreline And you watch the seagulls fly And you walk a thousand miles And you think that there’s no end to the island
But it gets lonely on the island walking the shoreline As the time and tide roll by And you walk a thousand miles ‘Til you think you see the end of the island
Then when you came to the island we walked the shoreline And we watched the sun go down And we walked a thousand miles Trying to find the end of the island
And we watched the summer go And we kissed a thousand times But we never found the end of the island
Now you’re long gone from the island and I walk the shoreline As I watch the years go by As I walk a thousand miles I think I see the end of the island
And I watch the years go by And I walk a thousand miles And I think I’m at the end of the island.
