Isla Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Time goes so fast, and sometimes so does life

I'd let you go but my darling you fit right

And I'm in love

I hope I cross your path another time

I took a chance, and it left me paralysed

A year without you was as lethal as a knife

And I'm terrified

I'm back to being me without a bride



[Chorus]

Isla, Isla wait for me

Isla, please don't forget me



[Verse 2]

When I returned I could barely sleep at night

An empty bed and a tear drop in my eye

Later that day

The kerosene would meet the naked flames

I tried my luck, and I took you to one side

Confessed my love and how it almost cost my life

I'd give it all

For just another late night on the grove



[Chorus]

Isla, Isla wait for me

Oh Isla, please don't set me free

Oh Isla, my love, follow me

At your altar, I can't hold my peace



[Verse 3]

I heard the bells, on the short walk from church to your garden

Above the marque, his contrails aligned for you

He is watching, he follows in your magpie army

Over railroads, I can't help but raise both of my feet



[Chorus]

Isla, Isla conquer me

Oh Isla, you're the one I see

Oh Isla, please grow old with me

At your altar, I sure hope its me
