There's a ship And it sails a sea of light On it's 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 my door Gonna leave this town forever And go where I'll never Need an overcoat no more Where they cry Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh 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 Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh 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 Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh 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
