Story Behind The Song

I've been fortunate to have made a few trips to Ambergris Caye, Belize over the past few months, play some music on the beach during breaks of Dennis Wolfe, Drummer Dan and their band, make new friends, etc. This is the first song to emerge from the expe

Lyrics

Back To My Island

Stephen Brunette


Life is simple. Love is sweet.
Sometimes I forget this when I walk these city streets.
But there's a place I know where the streets are soft and white,
where love rolls the tide to the rhythm of a moonlit night.

CHORUS 1:
Take me back to my island, the center of the world.
Let me swim the crystal seas of my smilin' island girl.
Take me back to my island, the center of the world.
I'll stay a while in the mystical smile of my island girl.

When life gets complicated, leaves me tossin' and turnin' in my bed,
I'm inundated, too much information has been downloaded to my head.
But there's a place I go to drop out of the world wide web,
dance to the beat of a natural heart, let a sea breeze clear my head.

CHORUS 1 (repeat):

BRIDGE
Some say I took too long to drop out of the race.
But I'm OK. Past is gone. I've found my place.
Seas will rise, seas will fall, to change my island's face.
Love will guide us through it all, we'll find our way.

CHORUS 2:
I'm goin' back to my island, the center of my world.
I'm goin' to swim the crystal seas of my smilin' island girl.
I'm goin' back to my island, the center of my world.
I'll stay a while in the mystical smile of my island girl.
I just might stay the rest of my while
in the mystical smile of my island girl.
