There's a ship   And its sails a sea of light   On its way to me tonight   From a distant shore   Taking me home once more      And the waves   And the whistling of the wind   Make me come alive again   My destiny's at the door      Going to leave this town forever   And go where I'll never   Need an overcoat no more, where they cry...      Ooh lalalala, every night and every day   Sitting by the gulf coast just a thousand miles away,   Where they cry...   Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell   Starlit nights in paradise on the isle of Sanibel      There's a girl   And I see her dressed in white   As she lies there in the night   I can hear her cry   Where has he gone and why?      But she knows   That someday he will arrive   And it keeps her love alive   Dreams can never die      She looks across the ocean   At sails in motion   In the early morning sky, where they cry...      Ooh lalalala, every night and every day   Sitting by the gulf coast just a thousand miles away,   Where they cry...   Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell   Starlit nights in paradise on the isle of Sanibel      Angels of the water, sirens of the sea   Whispering their sweet love songs   Calling out to me      Ooh lalalala, every night and every day   Sitting by the gulf coast just a thousand miles away,   Where they cry...   Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell   Starlit nights in paradise on the isle of Sanibel   Spend my life in paradise on the isle of Sanibel
