Intro

x4

 I spent my life so patient

Waiting for the descent

 The gift to bring me water

 The drought that ends thereafter

 I tread my foot most lightly

Past the day left nightly

 And striving to be honest

 But hopeless without ballast

 For the light did sweep across the sea

You were the keeper of the key

 And the holder of my destiny

A thousand poems for the sight I've seen

 I've found myself the island

 A tree will bend and offer

 The branch to give the altar

 My promise will not falter

 To you my dearest lover

 For the light did sweep across the sea

You were the keeper of the key

 And the holder of my destiny

A thousand poems for the sight I've seen

 I've found myself the island

 And now we lay

Down the day

 In this we're safe

 We know the way

Where we're going

 For the light did sweep across the sea

You were the keeper of the key

 And the holder of my destiny

A thousand poems for the sight I've seen

 I've found myself the island

 I've found myself the island

 I've found myself the island
