The Rankin Family
Lonely Island
There's a lonely island
Along a broken coastline
Where a single light shines into the night
And there's an only family
The sole survivors
Barely holding on to a dying life
Chorus
Will they come again
To this lonely island
Will they stay away
From their own old bed
Will they come again
To this lonely island
Across the rolling waves
To where it all began
Not so long ago
On this lonely island
It was easy to make an honest stand
But troubled winds
One day came blowing
Drove the people away into distant lands
Chorus
Busses and trains will carry you far away
Down roads and tracks meet sky so blue
But memories will always linger
Taking you back to the things you knew
There's a lonely island
Along a broken coastline
Where a single light shines into the night
And there's an only family
The sole survivors
Barely holding on to a dying life
Chorus
Across the rolling waves
To where it all began
