Salt on your lips
Sand on your knees
Laugh in the wind
You do it with ease
Bare feet kicking
Flip-flops in your hand
You spin through the market
Queen of this little strand
Island girl
Sun stuck in your curls
You're turning every tide
With the way you move your world
Island girl
Wildflower
Open pearl
You carry all the colors
Of this tiny
Shining world
You ride on the back
Of your cousin's old bike
Fish fry smoke
Drifting through the night
Everybody waves
You know all their names
You're humming to yourself
Like you're calling down the rain
Island girl
Sun stuck in your curls
You're turning every tide
With the way you move your world
Island girl
Wildflower
Open pearl
You carry all the colors
Of this tiny
Shining world
You say
"I don't own much
Just my time
My touch"
But you glow so bright
You could light us up
If the big world calls
Will you still be mine?
Or just a story I tell
About a kiss in the brine (oh-oh)
Island girl
Sun stuck in your curls
You're turning every tide
With the way you move your world
Island girl
Wildflower
Open pearl
If you ever sail away
You'll be my whole wide world
