Boats in the harbor Gonna sail me away I'm goin' to the island To the eternal day Going up to the island I'm getting tired of the same old life Just beyond the horizon I know of a paradise Going up to the island Where the water is crystal clear And at the end of my journey I'll be there (I'll be, I'll be there) The fruit is eternal But the basket is not The fruits are everlasting But your basket will rot This world is not forever It's a crazy, crazy place If I knew I had to stay here I'd be a basket case Going up to the island I'm getting tired of the same old life Just beyond the horizon I know of a paradise Going up to the island Where the water is crystal clear And at the end of my journey I'll be there (I'll be, I'll be there) I'm going up to the island I'm getting tired of the same old life Just beyond the horizon I know of a paradise I'm going up to the island Where the water is crystal clear And at the end of my journey I'll be there (I'll be, I'll be there)
