Washed Ashore (On A Lonely Island In The Sea) Lyrics By The Platters

    washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea
    washed ashore on a lonely island in the sea

    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

    fade
