Graham Nash - Out On The Island (with lyrics)

Sky was full of diamonds
some of them were falling
Cloud came by and covered up the skyline
Voices in the distance, I could swear
I heard them calling me
taking me back to you behind the tree-line

Out on the island, it's such a beautiful island
with the swaying trees and the summer breeze
there is only one place to be ...out on the island

Someone saying something as we walk toward the pier
Wind came through and blew away the moonlight
No one saying nothing, I pretend I cannot hear
But I'm hoping it all comes true before the daylight


Out on the island, it's such a beautiful island
with the swaying trees and the summer breeze
there is only one place to be...out on...out on

Sky was full of diamonds
some of them were falling
Cloud came by and ( ? ) covered up the skyline
Voices in the distance, I could swear I heard them calling me (calling me)
taking me back to you behind the tree-line (Wooo)

Out on the island , it's such a beautiful island
with the swaying trees and the summer breeze
there is only one place to be...out on the island
And I feel good
with the swaying trees and the summer breeze
there is only one place to be....

written by Graham Nash

Someone needs to hold an intervention with GN and tell him to put this, one of his top 20/30 songs of all time in the place of another one he's playing too many times...... this is an awesome song and he like never plays it.

@professormacdeezy I totally agree with you; I noticed many times that the singers/ groups don't know which are their best songs. Thanks for feedback :)

Dear zzenzero ! Singing is a marvellous thing - expecially for those who have "voice" - for example like you :))))) The Dead Parrots Society is a very good band :))))))

Many uploader put up the lyrics and I always like it -it helps me to understand the meaning of the song. So I try doing the same way if I have got the lyrics. All the best wishes :)

Awesome song man, any chance you could upload the whole album? I can't seem to find anymore tunes off the album here on youtube, no matter what search terms I try... This was a really great album & I would so love to be able to listen to it again...

Wow, SweetSmoke ... you could be starting a new fashion at You Tube ... displaying songs' lyrics! If we are not careful, we might start singing along with the video! Thank you for your dedication to the cause, and another fine upload. namaste :)
