lyrics versions 1, 2 and 3
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
