Richard Clapton - I am an island

Young hearts on Paradise Street
They tumble down like poetry
Oh my, I gotta fly
I stretch up and touch the sky
Up and down with the party clowns
Ballroom dancing in sequined gowns
I get so confused searching for you, babe
How come you keep walking off that way?
Ah, no
Little darling, this is the end
I needed you like oxygen
"I am an island", some sucker scrawled
"I am an island" on a city wall
Broadway, walk the length and breadth
I think I'm smoking myself to death
You're bad for me, and bad for the soul
I think I'm losing my self-control
I've got nothing but vacancy
I'm crawling after you on my hands and knees
I'm a coal car on a downhill track
I don't know what I'll do if you don't come back
Oh, no
Little darling, this is the end
I needed you like oxygen
"I am an island", some sucker scrawled
"I am an island", on a city wall
Little darling, this is the end
I needed you like oxygen
"I am an island", some sucker scrawled
"I am an island" on a city wall
Little darling, this is the end
I needed you like oxygen
"I am an island", some sucker scrawled
"I am an island" on a city wall
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
That's alright, that's alright, that's alright, that's alright
I'd like to thank you all for comin' down here tonight
Hope you had a good time
Had a good time, had a good time, had a good time
That's alright
Thank you very much
