"Island" lyrics

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

It's the need for love
Heart and soul accompaniment
Seems to make me different from you

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

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

When the need for love
Heart and soul accompaniment
No longer makes me different from you

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

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

Island, I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night just make me want that much more
