Islands

Earth, stream, and tree encircled by sea Waves sweep the sand from my island My sunsets fade Field and glade wait only for rain Grain after grain, love erodes my High weathered walls which fend off the tide Cradle the wind To my island Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide Mournfully cry o'er my island My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale Dissolves in the sun Love's web is spun, cats prowl, mice run Wreathe snatch-hand briers where owls know my eyes Violet skies Touch my island Touch me Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'neath heaven's sea Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'neath heaven's sea Dark harbor quays like fingers of stone Hungrily reach from my island Clutch sailor's words, pearls and gourds Are strewn on my shore Equal in love, bound in circles Earth, stream, and tree return to the sea Waves sweep the sand from my island From me Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'neathe heaven's sea It-it has a number of high spots, that i enjoy each this time What are we going to do, um, do it twice more Once with the oboe, once without it And then, we've finished for the evening Right (It'll be nine o'clock soon, John) (Okay, we're rolling, whenever you're ready, on three) Three One, two, three, two, two, three --- Islands - King Crimson
