This is one of those songs written about a love I held onto for a while, wishing it would never die. I promised myself I’d never record it as it’s far too personal to both her and myself and about how things came to a close. (I’m going to be in so much trouble lol) However, sometimes it’s best to admit defeat, release the track and take another bird on holiday with the royalties. Bon voyage.

Lyrics:

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. I’m terrified, I’m back to being me without a bride.

Isla, Isla wait for me.
Isla, Please don’t forget me.

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 flame. 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.

Isla, Isla wait for me.
Oh Isla, Please don’t set me free.
Oh Isla, my love follow me.
At your alter, I can’t hold my peace.

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 my feet.

Isla, Isla conquer me.
Isla, you’re the one I see.
Oh Isla, please grow old with me.
At your alter, I sure hope its me. x
