ISLAND

music/lyrics John Kachnowski 5-4-2022

No more time for the troubles and daily worries
Got Nowhere to be, you’ll never find me in a hurry
Always taking it on the chin, Facing being pinned
I was chasing the wind, with no chance to win
Took myself a moment to clear my mind
finally found the answer to get me out of this bind

I told myself, throw it all away
And find that place i want to stay
No work, just fun. Doing as I please
I take in the sun and I feel the breeze.

No pictures needed, nothing to post
Every days the same, this beach is my host
Tilt down the hat and slide the shades on my eyes
Why did it take so long to get wise

no more lines and wasted times,
my only waiting’s for the sun to rise
The place to be, is this place for me
walkin’ in the sea and sippin’ ice tea

My island of one, relaxing and fun
My island of one, no more work to be done
My island of one, is open all day
My island of one, where peace is my pay.

on an island far away, on an island far away
on an island far away, on an island far away
