Island In The Sun
Goliath And The Giants Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time, there's a funny thing about time, and I like funny things but I'm,
Sick and bored of all round, I'm gonna run to spain. And you, you say you have another view, and yeah I'm pretty sure you do! You say you dream about peru, And maybe I do to?

Away, to an Island in the sun, away, to an Island in the sun.
Fly away now
Fly away now
Fly away now

Days, there's a funny thing about days, And I like funny things but Hey!
Let's just talk about today, And let us fly away. You, you say you have another view, that you have other things to do. But you dream about it too, so let us fly away!

Away, to an Island in the sun, away, to an Island in the sun.
Away, to an Island in the sun, away, to an Island in the sun.

Come away with me, come away with me now!

Away, to an Island in the sun, away, to an Island in the sun.
Away, to an Island in the sun, to an Island in the sun.
Fly away now
Fly away now

Fly away now
Fly away, now come with me to an island in the sun!
