[Verse 1]
Island, I see you in the distance
I feel that your existence is not unlike my own
Island, they say no man is like you
They say you stand alone, sometimes I feel that way too

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's the need for love
Heart and soul accompaniment
Seems to make me different from you

[Chorus 1]
Well, I tried to book passage
But you have no ports
And I tried to sail in, but your wind and waters
Tore my sails and broke all my oars

[Verse 2]
Island, I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night just make me want that much more
Island, I see you in all of my dreams
Maybe someday I'll have the means to reach your distant shores

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When the need for love
Heart and soul accompaniment
No longer makes me different from you
[Chorus 2]
Well, I tried to build bridges
But they all fell down
And I've taken to the air on wings of silver
But I always hit the ground

[Chorus 1]
Well I tried to book passage
But you have no ports
And I tried to sail in, but your wind and waters
Tore my sails and broke all my oars

[Refrain]
Island, I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night just make me want that much more
