Island
Roseaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I leave my lovers in the dark
But you light up every room
and in me you light a spark
No matter what they say, oh love
You’re always on my mind
you’re different from the other girls
you’re soulful and refined
And hold you the night through
you show me what it is that I can give
my love for you is true
and under city lights
you can make me feel the wide open sea
and I can feel the rush of a mountain top
When you shine your eyes at me (x2)
My love for you will last
past a thousand Friday nights
through all our Saturdays
And Sundays full of light
I need your voice and spirit, oh love
Now say that you’ll be mine
I’ll make it worth your while
If you just give me the time
Cause I long to take you in my arms
And hold you the night through
you show me what it is that I can give
you know it's all for you
and under city lights
you can make me feel the wide open sea
and I can feel the rush of a mountain top
When you shine your eyes at me (x2)
Here is the day
We no longer have to wait
And we can live a little dream just made for two
You know I’ll follow through
and under city lights
you can make me feel the wide open sea
and I can feel the rush of a mountain top
When you shine your eyes at me...
