I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers!
Since my best friend an' you, became untrue
there's nothin' else for me to do!
There are no chains to hold a love grown cold,
that's what your heart soon discovers!
So, I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers! ( lovers, forgotten love! )
And I will stay away ( I will stay away!! ) until the day
my broken heart recovers!
But now I'm sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers!
to the island of forgotten lovers!
