And the moon brings us back, I'm going back over to the islands
In between your smiles theres a clue whether to scream or be silent
And the wind blows sad and joyful on our arrival onto the island
And with your sense of dislocation you make the perfect travelling companion

And the world will always seem so much younger than me when I take the boat out
A crowded world will always seem emptier to me when I take the boat out

Suspicion fills a stranger who looks beyond the horizon
All the days that I've found love and left with only my feelings to survive on
I walk the solemn line in with the rhythm of the seas around the island
And there are times to act and times to stand back and time to show whats needed to rely on

And the world will always seem so much younger than me when I take the boat out
A crowded world will always seem emptier to me when I take the boat out
When the sea answers the island oh when I take the boat out
It's emptier and silent oh when I take the boat out

How come you always seem so real defined
You put your hand in my hand make it my design
And we give what we have and we do what we can
Put your hand in my hand

How come you always seem so real defined
You put your hand in my hand make it our design
And we give what we have and we do what we can
Put your hand in my hand
And the sea answers the island oh
And the sea answers the island oh
