[D]
Island, I see you in the distance
I feel that your existence is not [G] unlike mine
[D] Island, they say no man is like you
They say you stand alone
[D] Sometimes I feel that way too
It's the need for [A]
love
Heart and soul are [E]
common
[Bm] Seems to make [E] me different from [A] you
Well [Bm] I tried to book passage
[Em]
But [A] you have no port
And [Bm] I tried to sail in [E] but you went in [A] water
For my sails and boat for my [D] oars
Island, I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
Just make [G] me want that much more
[D]
I see you in all of my dreams
Maybe someday I'll have the means
To reach [G] your distant shores
[D] When the need [A] for [A] love
Heart and soul [Bb] are common
[Bm] Seems to make [E] me different [A] from you
Well [Bm] I tried to build bridges
[Em]
But [A] they all fell down
[Bm] And I've taken to the air [E] on wings of silver
[A] But I [B] always hit [A] the ground
Well

Silhouettes of ships in the night
Just make [G] me want that much more
