I’m going to the island going to wade into the sea
I said, I’m going to the island, wade into the sea
I’m tired of living without you and with me

Going to buy a boat and sail into the sky
Yes by and by I’m sailing to the sky
And only waves to wave my boat goodbye

Now if you see my mama tell her I could not stay
Yes if you see my mama tell her why I can’t stay
The sea will tell her things I could not say

I believe salt water cures my body’s pain
I believe salt water cures me of my pain
But I can’t stand to need this cured again

So I’m going to the island going to wade into the sea
Yes I’m going to the island going to wade deep into the sea
I’m tired of living without you living with me
