Island Girl

歌詞

With a wave of her hand and her sparkling eye My island girl waved me goodbye For another country in another time For another life under another sky But don't just cut off your heart keep it open and sure Keep it free from hurt and keep an open door And let the spirit of love that united our soul Be a gentle dove and guide you to your goal And I'll go to that stream and I'll sing my own prayer That my island girl shall be safe everywhere Sing away while you can and before very long The coming tide brings the chosen one And there is a hope and there is a peace In that ancient land where my angel sleeps And when your river runs high Let it flow, let it flow It's your time with life to let your garden grow And when your burden gets rough Let it go, let it go Let your strength return on every breeze that blows Through that ancient land, through eternity O, my island girl, remember me For your life has its course and you never can say Who you'll meet and marry along your way But be sure from the start that the cities behind Love the lands living heart and breath eternal time And when your river runs dry and your halo is torn Drink the living stream in the calm of the dawn And may you travel in peace And may your children be blessed And your mind released and your soul caressed In that faraway land where my spirit flies To my island girl under those ancient skies And with a wave of her hand and her sparkling eye My island girl bid me goodbye For another dream in another time For another life under another sky
