Islands Lyrics

Islands lyrics

--- music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield
Islands, from the first time we
saw,
We could wait for this moment,
like rocks on the shore.
We can
never be closer, somehow,
For the moment that lasts, is this moment
now.
When the night's on fire,
will you keep the candlelight
burning?
Hold on to your heart's desire.
When you see one bird into the
wind,
another one's turning,
And the two can fly much higher.
Chorus
:
We are islands, but never too far,
We are islands
And I need your
light tonight,
and I need your light tonight.
We are islands, but never
too far,
We are islands
And I need your light tonight,
and I need your
light tonight.
Islands, never been to before,
And we climb so high
to
where the wild birds soar.
There's a new path that we found just today,
I
was lost in the forest
and you showed me the way.
When the night's on
fire,
will you keep the candlelight burning?
Hold on to your heart's
desire.
When you see one bird into the wind,
another one's
turning,
And the two can fly much higher.
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
