Stranded on an island with my baby far away,
but I know I'm gonna make it back to her someday
though my self-inflicted punishment brings me here
I'm counting down the days until I hold her near

Would that I were like a fish - to swim to her for just one
kiss
I'd get to her two seconds gone, but instead I'm only here,
alone.

Now two months, maybe more, that she's been travelling the
world
and truth be told I was the one who told her she should go
to live her dreams and be as free asx she can be
and though she's gone I know that she'll come back to me.

Would that I were like a bird - to fly to her across the
world
I'd get to her two seconds gone, but instead I'm only here,
alone.

Now, twice apart and three's a charm, or so I've heard it
said.
Now baby's here and finally she took me to her bed.
The bed is wide, the bed is big enough to hide
the two of us from problems of the world outside.

Now she's a woman, I'm a man. We'll brave this world as best
we can
Close the door, all troubles gone and now it's only us
alone.
and would that I were like a fish - to swim to her for just
one kiss.
I'd get to her two seconds gone, and now it's only us alone.
