Island Of My Own
Discovering Solitude: The Lovepools' Island Odyssey
Lyrics
I was dreaming of a place that took me oh so far away
The speaker dreams of a distant place.
On an island in Bermuda where the water's always green
Imagines an island in Bermuda with perpetual green waters.
There was no one there but me
The speaker envisions being alone on this island.
I had the island to myself
Expresses having the entire island to oneself.
Oh no
An abrupt expression of concern or realization.
Uh
An interjection indicating surprise or realization.
So I found myself a tree right on the beach and called it home
Finds a tree on the beach and adopts it as a home.
There were creatures in the sea that were getting washed up on the shore

I saw a storm was coming in
Senses an incoming storm.
The tide was rising to my knees

Oh no

Uh

Where did all the people go?

Will they learn to love and let go?

cre they on an island of their own?

So I ran into the jungle seeking shelter from the storm
Seeks shelter in the jungle from the approaching storm.
There were monkeys all around me stealing kisses from the sun
