Merle Haggard - I Am An Island Lyrics






They say no man is an island, that's all I hear from my old friends
They say I should forget you and learn to love again
But I don't need nobody tryin' to tell me what to do
And I don't want nobody else if I can't have you

I am an island, I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island
I am an island, I'm driftin' on the sea
Till you come back to me, I am an island

I've boarded up the windows, locked and bolted all the doors
I don't want nobody comin' round to see me anymore
I just wanna hold your picture, lose my mind in your sweet perfume
Sit here in the shadows starin' out the window of our room

I am an island, I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island
I am an island, I'm driftin' on the sea
Till you come back to me, I am an island

I am an island, I just want to be alone
Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island
I am an island, I'm driftin' on the sea
Till you come back to me, I am an island

    They say no man is an island,
    that's all I hear from my old friends
    They say I should forget you and learn to love again
    But I don't need nobody tryin' to tell me what to do
    I don't want nobody else if I can't have you

    I am an island, I just want to be alone
    Time means nothing to a stone, I am an island
    I am an island, I'm driftin' on the sea
    Till you come back to me, I am an island

    Sit here in the shadows
