Lyrics
I went down to the seven islands,
I visited the seven islands.
I had promised I would meet her there
I had made a promise to meet someone there.
with the palm trees wrapped up in silence,
The palm trees were surrounded by silence.
with that ocean in the air
The atmosphere was filled with the presence of the ocean.
But sometimes when I dream of her,
When I dream of her...
on that island where the sunlight hits your eyes,
...on an island where sunlight illuminates your eyes.
in the wind there's no sorrow drifting by
There is no sorrow in the wind drifting by.
And I wish that her eyes, oh her wonderful eyes,
I desire that her eyes, so wonderful, were there just for me.
were there, there just for me
Her eyes being present would make me feel complete.
On that island I'll be free
I anticipate freedom on that island.
How I wish that she still loves me,
I long for her continued love.
and I remember what she said
I recall what she had said.
How her letters used to release me,
Her letters used to bring me a sense of liberation.
and that feeling that we shared
We shared a special feeling.
But sometimes when I dream of her,
When I dream of her...
on an island where the sunlight hits your eyes,
...on an island where sunlight brightens your eyes.
in the wind there's no sorrow drifting by
There is no sorrow in the drifting wind.
And I wish that her eyes, oh her wonderful eyes,
I yearn for her eyes, so wonderful, to be there for me.
were there, there just for me
Her eyes being present would bring freedom on that island.
On that island I'll be free
I anticipate freedom on that island.
But sometimes when I dream of her,
When I dream of her...
on an Island where the sunlight hits your eyes
...on an island where sunlight brightens your eyes.
and the wind was drifting by
The wind drifts by on the island.
