I packed a few of my belongings   Left the life that I was living   Just some memories of it   Mostly the ones I can't forget      Whenever you need me, I'll be here   Until then, my dear   I'm going, I'm going, going there      Don't ask me to make time   To travel back and forth   Let nature take its course   Maybe I'm open from all this ocean air      And if it weren't for you   I'd be without a care   Setting sail to St. Elsewhere      Anywhere you sit you can see the sun   Unfortunately on this island I'm the only one      Same rules apply on a rainy day   And it's not such a pretty place to be   It just rains and rains and rains on me      Send a simple side, I can understand   Then a flower grew out that sand   Before you know it, I was back out on that sea      Now I don't mind it so much   Because as long as I'm not there   Anywhere is St. Elsewhere      Way over yonder there's a new frontier   Would it be so hard for you to come and visit me here?   I understand, would you send me a message in a bottle then baby?      St. Elsewhere
