Despite remembering the melody, only a few dislocated words (and probably incorrect) come back to me. " I wish I was a tiny island Floating in the sea Palm trees sway Dont get in the way It's a tropical ease.... Just endless waves at the end of our days The sighing of the sea Please guide me towards - name/words/chords (3's enough - joke) album (etc!). Thanks in anticipation Regards Ana

As I recall the liner notes from the album pointed out that he made a mistake on the recording; instead of singing the last half of the third verse as written, he repeated the last half of the first verse again. Good song; good luck. |
