Don Johnson Big Band Island Girl Lyrics

My island girl Is finding pearls at the bottom of the sea And knows the world is all make believe One final turn Time will turn the southern sky Don't run and hide the colors That make you dream

She is sleeping in the sunlight I watch her quiet form The water seems to whisper out You're right where you belong This morning holds a promise The night will never keep She grinds her teeth and tells me We are honest when we sleep And the only sound in this lonely town Is hold me down I hope my feet don't leave the ground Now the only sound in our lonely town Is hold me now I swear my feet won't leave the ground
CHORUS

She wears that old red worn out sweater And walks along the shoreline, Picks a rock up from the sand and says Now you're mine A thousand years of mystery Safe within her hand The secret of the sea That only she will understand

CHORUS

And the only sound in this lonely town Is hold me down I hope my feet don't leave the ground Now the only sound in our lonely town Is hold me now I swear my feet won't leave the ground
