A gypsy-sea shanty of sorts; the song tells the story of a love lost at sea.
Big thanks to - Meredith Wilder (vocals), Ryan Little(slide guitar), Nick Baker(Accordion) and Dan Spanogle(Upright Bass) for lending their talent to the tune.

lyrics

Island

I am like an island
drifting out at sea
Lost n blue without my love
Now it’s only me

Wind it blows across the water
Ripples turn to waves
I’m in this boat without my darling
There's nothing left to save

Row row faster towards the shore
Row row across the ocean floor
Row row babe I’m coming home
you lost your jacket in the storm

whoa oh
whoa oh
whoa oh

I am not a monster
I could learn to love
Crawled to shore through the slings and arrows
Ghosts and frozen storms

Your voice called across the water
Called me by my name
My oar sinks deep into the darkness
there’s nothing left to save

Row row faster towards the shore
Row row across the ocean floor
Row row babe I’m coming home
I lost my jacket in the storm

whoa oh
whoa oh
whoa oh


I’ve been waiting
On the shores calm beneath the moonlight
You were rowing towards me
With my jacket tied around your arm

I am like an island
drifting out at sea
Lost n blue without my love
Now it’s only me…
