The Island

No mans an island, what about me Miles from anyone, a desolate island in the sea People come and visit, but no one comes to stay One of these day’s though…. I’m hoping, as I pray There’s a shadow on the horizon I can barely make out Come over and visit, I’m wanting, to shout But I’m just an island, and have no voice So I wait, just wait, because it is her choice My heart skips a beat, my spirit begins to soar This is the one, I’m positive. I’m sure, Year after year but still no nearer, A whisper in the wind, I swear I almost hear her Season after season, as I’m smashed by the ocean No hint movement, no emotion or motion Deep in my centre, where the passion blazes in my heart Not for too much longer, I feel, will we be apart But I’m an island I can wait until the end of days, People still visit me, but no one yet stays I relax and wait, and ascend my mind Darkness surrounds me, as I go blind… Millennia have passed as I wake from my slumber I search around for the one I that I hunger She rest right next to me, without me knowing I’m jus glad she’s here my insides are glowing A smile in my heart, happiness in my soul There are now two islands, in the middle of the sea Forever and ever, together we’ll be…
