Sanibel

There's a ship And it sails a sea of light On its way to me tonight From a distant shore Taking me home once more And the waves And the whistling of the wind Make me come alive again My destiny's at the door Going to leave this town forever And go where I'll never Need an overcoat no more Where they cry, "Oh lalalala", every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf Coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry, "Oh lalalala", on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel There's a girl And I see her dressed in white As she lies there in the night I can hear her cry Where has he gone and why? But she knows That someday he will arrive And it keeps her love alive Dreams can never die She looks across the ocean At sails in motion In the early morning sky Where they cry, "Oh lalalala", every night and every day Sitting by the gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry, "Oh lalalala", on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel Angels of the water, sirens of the sea Whispering their sweet love songs Calling out to me Oh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf Coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry, "Oh lalalala", on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel Spend my life in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel
