Washed Ashore (On a Lonely Island in the Sea) - The Platters

Yeah girl

So many times you told me, baby

So many times you made me feel

That this love will last forever

And that this love was real

Ha!

But now the tide has changed

And all the love you stole

You took out of your sweet little heart

And just threw it overboard

(Washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea)

Yeah girl

(Washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea)

Oh yeah girl

My life is filled with emptiness baby

The sadness filled with tears

How long can I survive without ya, honey

How many lonely lonely years

I’m deserted on the isle of sadness

Where the forgetting is hard to do

Memories are eating my life away

Those memories of you

Yeah!

Yeah yeah girl

(Washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea)

No yeah, ha

(Washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea)

And with the love you tossed away

With all my heart and all my soul

Floating on a sea of shattered dreams

To a isle of tears and woe

No other love could rescue me, baby

From this isle of loneliness

Until you come and save me, baby

I’ll be marooned like this

(Washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea)

Yeah yeah girl

(Washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea)

Oh washed ashore

Gone, gone, gone

With the love I had for you, baby

With all my heart and all my soul

I’ll never let you go
