Bobby Bare - I Am An Island Lyrics

Bobby Bare Lyrics

"I Am An Island"

They say no man is an island
That's all I hear from my old friends
They say I should forget you
And learn to love again

But I don't need nobody
Trying to tell me what to do
And I don't want nobody else
If I can't have you

I am an island
I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone
I am an island

I am an island
Drifting on the sea
Till you come back to me
I am an island

Boarded up the windows
Locked and bolted every door
I don't want nobody
Coming 'round to see me anymore

I just wanna hold your picture
And lose my mind in your perfume
And sit here in the shadows
Staring out the window of our room

I am an island
I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone
I am an island

I am an island
Drifting on the sea
Till you come back to me
I am an island

I am an island
I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone
I am an island
