Island

I knew myself that I gave it all to you. My life, my love, my everything is now yours. I gave more than anything anyone could have given. I bought you diamond, he bought you pearl. I shopped you gold, even just a silver he never did. I even gave you the sea, and he just gave you an island. And so I was lucky you were delighted to swim. But you durst yourself to swim in the ocean of my love, just to cross and go to your island.
