lyrics

ISLAND TIME

Hello mom and dad, the heat here is mad, I have some time to write

Thinking of you,, as I stir my stew, ,, something familiar in the fright

Want you to know That I miss you both so and i ache to come home

When I get back from this crazy war I promise never more Never more will i ever roam


I'll come....
Back to the Island , home to the sun and the sea

Back to the shore where waves crash and roar and long shady walks through the trees

Where we play golf all seasons and live like there's a reason
not rushing like main-lander's do.

We make love like it Spring time and quote Albert Einstein,
liven slow and easy Island time.


Hi Sister Sue, the whole dam air crew, .says thanks for the pictures you sent

We have a leave coming and the whole crew was gumming argueing Montreal or Kent

But when they saw the pictures and asked where they're taken I told them our front yard

So tell all our friends we'll be home next month and contact the local Coast Guard.


We'll coming
Back to the Island , home to the sun and the sea

Back to the shore where waves crash and roar and long shady walks through the trees

Where we play golf all seasons and live like there's a reason not rushing like main-lander's do.

We make love like it Spring time and quote Albert Einstein,
liven slow and easy island time


Now there may be those out there that think I am not fare that maybe I’m bias or wrong

To them I will just smile Cause I hold no guile just urge them to all come along


Come
Back to the Island , home to the sun and the sea

Back to the shore where waves crash and roar and long shady walks through the trees

Where we play golf all seasons and live like there's a reason not rushing like main-lander's do.

We make love like it Spring time and quote Albert Einstein, liven slow and easy Island time

Back to the Island , back to the sun and the sea

Back to the shore where wave crash and roar and long shady walks through the trees

Where we play golf all seasons and live like there's a reason
not rushing like main-lander's do.

we make love like it Spring time and quote Albert Einstein, liven slow and easy island time

Jim Moffatt Victoria, British Columbia

"Why do I do this?” In the simplest terms it’s "I write, therefore I am." Corny, sure, but I actually hear myself thinking in song. Everything from the mundane to the serious... in my minds "ear" I hear melody lines and music when I am pondering .
Does that make me nuts? Maybe. Some of the songs that play in my head I am driven to share, to experience them with others. I am a song writer. ... more
