Island (Reprise)
[PEPA]
I thought we had just what we needed
A life you could hold in your hand
But now that the waves have receded
I see it was all a reflection on saltwater

I built a house on the sand
Gathered all my hopes and put them inside
So drunk with the view
I forgot to watch out for the tide

Well, here comes the tide

Where does it go?
Where does it go
When it goes away?
Where does it go?
I thought I saw it here yesterday

[CARLOS]
Do you just watch it all disappear?
Almost within reach but vanishing away?

[CANDELA]
You can find so much
You can lose so much
In a day

[PEPA]
In a single day [PEPA]
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
With the tidal wave?
What do you do?
When do you know
That it can't be saved?
 
 
Where did it go?
I wish you'd tell me
'Cause I forget
Up in the clouds
Up with the smoke
From your cigarette?
Where did it go?  
 
[CANDELA]
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
 
 
That it can't be saved?
 
 
 
I wish you'd tell me
Where did it go?
 
 
 
 
Where did it go?  
 
 
 
 
[CARLOS]
When do you know?
When you know
I wish you'd tell me
 
 
Where did it go?
 
Up in the clouds
Up with the smoke
 
 
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
