"I Am An Island" lyrics
"I Am An Island"
If you're spitting out your mouthguard
'Cause you need a little rest
If that's all you've got left
In your little bag of tricks
I'm up by the end
Of a long forgotten road
And I'm right here at home
I am an island
Steadfast and true
When you're going my way
Or just passing through
I am an island
Waiting for you
I left the tags on my clothes
Turned in my gun and badge
'Cause a man like me knows
When he's caught up in an act
I'm up by the end
Of a long forgotten road
Saw what I had
And cut it right down to the bone
Just a couple memories
Can pack a heavy load
And I'm right here at home
I am an island
Steadfast and true
A place of safe harbor
When you're passing through
I am an island
Waiting for you
Seen a lot of people lost
Sink like stones
But you can hold onto me
You can rest your mind a while on distant shores
And be right here at home
I am an island
I am an island
Steadfast and true
If you're going my way
Or just passing through
I am an island
Just waiting for you
Waiting for you
