Island In the Sea

Waters never tell a lie When silent Ghost ships sail on by, Underneath the starlit sky Sometimes how they seem to fly And try to land on thee. Butterflies do grace this land. Not one footprint spoils your sand. Palms like soldiers standing grand On my island in the sea. Winds from north at your front door Caressing you for evermore. Foamy suds they line your shore From waves that come and go encore And gently flow on thee. A waterfall streams on your hill Crashing down your waters spill; As I know they always will On my island in the sea. In the meadow stallions run, Knowing soon this day is done. Birds are soaring having fun Watching a glorious setting sun Going down on thee. Quietly the song of whale Echoes softly in your Dale, As night time brings its darkening veil On my island in the sea.
