Island (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Sometimes it seems like yesterday
Other times more than a million years
Oh little girl sweeter than an angel
When i think of her i laugh,
And drown in my own tears

You draw your first breath so close to me
Now we’ve been apart for years and years

She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday,
All i really came to say is
I still love you my sweet island

Maybe times will someday build a bridge for us
Somewhere father down the line; i know
But for you this;
To show you who’s on my mind

She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday,
All i really came to say is
I still love you my sweet island

Whatever they may say about my silence
Remember i’m an island too
We’re connected by more than an ocean
My blood runs in you

She can wash the land away, tides turning everyday,
All i really came to say is
I still love you my sweet island

Compartilhe!

Island (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

There are parts of me he’ll never know,
My wild horses and my river beds,
And in my throat voices he’ll never hear.
He pulls at me like a cherry tree,
And I can still move, but I don’t speak about it.
Pretend I’m crazy, pretend I’m dead.
He’s to scared to hit me now, he’ll bring flowers istead.

I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
Somewhere to go.

And the dogwoods shimmer in October sun,
‘Oh sweet thing’ he sings to me,
‘You’re the only one.’

I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you, somewhere
I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you, somewhere to go.

And I don’t know why I can’t tell my sister,
He spat in my face again, and I don’t want to die here.
You know that dream when your feet won’t move,
you want to come but your body won’t let you.
He steals it from me.He steals it from me.
It shines like sweat, like jewels,
Like something that has died to soon.
He fucks with the beauty.
A kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick, a kiss kiss kick.
He steals it from me.
It’s out of my hands again.

I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone
I need an island, somewhere to bury you,
Somewhere to go, to go…

Island (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

There is an island
Where it should never be
Surrounded by suburban sea
And through the tired and hopeless waves
To where it’s free

I want to be there
For the rest of my time

There on the island
The sun is always bright
The moon sends the darkness away in the night
I know that it’s waiting
I know there’s a place ready for me

I want to be there
For the rest of my time

Warm sounds of windsongs
Come down through the trees
But far away tears are borne on the breeze
I’ll follow the raindrops
Cause sunshine and smiles are waiting for me

I want to be there
For the rest of my time

Island (Letra)

Watching you as you sleep
You seem to do it so easily
It’s not that easy for me
Though I wish it could be.
Want to go to your island, I
Want to go to your island
Want to go to your island
With you
I’m tired of keeping you at arms length
It was my weakness, now it’s my greatest strength
All I want to do is go to sleep
And wake up with you next to me
It’s not that I’m asking
And I don’t want to know

Island (Letra)

What’s life revealing?
But base reality
Take it how you want to
Nothing comes for free
We go all round believing
In perfect harmony
Who tells us that’s the right way?
Just open up and see

Refrain:
Like living on an island
I’m lost, no land in sight
Like living on an island
I’m drifting without end
Somehow believe in this dream of life
Like living on an island

Never ending questions
A trip through darkened space
Sometimes getting nearer
To question asked with grace
But in the end it’s all believing
In whichever way you will
The answer or the mystery
Once black is now too white

Refrain (2x)

Like living on an island
I’m lost, no land in sight
Like living on an island
I’m drifting without end

For jane
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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

(instrumental)

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
