Lyrics |
People need people
But they move apart,
They hold back their feelings,
Hold in their heart.
Ev’ryone live on his own little island,
Keeps to his island, oceans away.
Ev’ryone clings to his safe little center,
“Let no one enter,” he seems to say.
People need people
To make tomorrow
warm in pleasure,
Soft in sorrow!
Wish someone special would come to my island,
Comfort and warm me,
Sweeten my day,
But she’s [he’s] on her [his] island oceans away.
Ev’ryone live on his own little island,
Keeps to his island, oceans away.
Ev’ryone clings to his safe little center,
“Let no one enter,” he seems to say.
People need people
To make tomorrow
warm in pleasure,
Soft in sorrow!
Wish someone special would come to my island,
Comfort and warm me,
Sweeten my day,
But she’s [he’s] on her [his] island oceans away.
