UK #3 for Joe Dolan in 1969
The same melody was used for Mujer de promesas (Make me an island is the original)
Different names, different games took my breath clean away
But I'm changed, rearranged, I'm enlightened and how
You have taught me, you have caught me, and I'm different now
Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors
Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours
Take me away from the world, take me away from the girls
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours
Running round, shifting ground, that's the life I have seen
But I'm tired, uninspired and I've wiped my slate clean
You are mine, I am yours, if the Lord will allow
You have taught me, you have caught me, and I'm different now
Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors
Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours
Take me away from the world, take me away from the girls
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours
Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors
Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours
Take me away from the world, take me away from the girls
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours...
