How many tear drops must I cry,
before I let you pass on by.
Cause this island feeling, no no island feeling,
I just want it to pass on by.
Well lose the ground, but we're bound
Only teardrops can be found
This island singin', we're both still drinkin'
But when the morning comes
I know you'll be gone
I'm packing my bags, I'm moving on
Cause the fires still burnin, embers on ashes
Now take it on back, take it on back
How many teardrops must I cry,
before I let you pass on by.
Cause this island feeling, no no island feeling,
I just want it to pass on by.
When the night closes and you're left with no one
Me call it island feeling cause me left all alone
Now been on the pavement cause me got no one here
Only which me loving is what me offering
Cause you want to call, you know got to be leaving
Now baby girl in quicksand you got me sinkin' all alone.
Well lose the ground, but we're bound
Only teardrops can be found
This island singin', we're both still drinkin'
But when the morning comes
I know you'll be gone
I'm packing my bags, I'm moving on
Cause the fires still burnin, embers on ashes
Now take it on back, take it on back
How many teardrops must I cry,
before I let you pass on by.
Cause this island feeling, no no island feeling,
I just want it to pass on by.
