Island Eyes

In the dark of winter It's hard to remember The summer breeze on my skin So every night I light a wood stove fire And toss some pictures in But I keep one of you and me Up on the wall where I can see Your eyes Now I wonder where you've been Where you are and what I've missed All for my pride Island eyes island eyes As the sun sets down With no else around I think of you Out there alone on my island What did I prove I gave it all away Just to come back to you You said if I was ever coming home You'd leave a light on How was I to know You were already gone As I write my story down I wonder who is it for It so late in the night I'm seeing shadows under the door The wells gone dry No tears in my eyes The trade winds they stopped blowing I sing this song for you Heroes and Villains Island eyes island eyes As the sun sets down With no else around I think of you Out there alone on my island What did I prove I gave it all away Just to come back to you You said if I was ever coming home You'd leave a light on How was I to know You were already gone You said if I was ever coming home You'd leave a light on How was I to know How was I too late You were already gone
