Struggling with Island? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
There was a time There was a place I loved That was my moment That's just the way it was Careless and crazy Running to, God knows where Now where is that heartland? Where is the one who cares? I can hear you calling Wandering boy, come home soon I hear the music I see your face in the moon Who am I fooling? There's no need for me to pretend I might sail forever And never find that island again I fight with my mem'ry Find all the pieces I can Of a beautiful woman Who trusted her heart in my hands Now what kind of sailor Would let such a dream get lost? Tonight we'd be sailing Out under the southern cross I can hear you calling Wandering boy, come home soon I hear the music I see your face in the moon Who am I fooling? There's no need for me to pretend I might sail forever And never find that island again Who am I fooling? There's no need for me to pretend I might sail forever And never find that island again I could sail forever And never find that island again
