Island, I see you in the distance
I feel that your existence
Is not unlike my own
Island, they say no man is like you
They say you stand alone
Sometimes I feel that way too
ย
It's the need for love
Heart and soul accompaniment
Seems to make me different, from you
ย
Well, I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
And I tried to sail in, but your wind and waters
Tore my sails and broke all my oars
ย
Island, I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
Just make me want that much more
Island, I see you in all of my dreams
Maybe someday I'll have the means, to reach your distant shores
ย
When the need for love
Heart and soul accompaniment
No longer makes me different from you
ย
Well I tried to build bridges, but they all fell down
And I've taken to the air on wings of silver
But I always hit the ground
ย
Well, I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
And I tried to sail in, but your wind and waters
Tore my sails and broke all my oars
ย
Island, I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
Just make me want that much more
