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!
