If the sun is to set
|
To leave us dark with regret
|
I will work up the strength
|
To pull our earth back round again
|
And if the ocean should freeze
|
Before we've sailed all the seas
|
I will drop to my knees
|
Until Poseidon agrees
|
|
We could build an island
|
You and I could swim beside
|
Where we could ride the tides
|
Until we fall asleep at night
|
[x2]
|
|
If you get scared of the space
|
Between now and those days
|
Then I will take you away
|
Somewhere fear has no place
|
We'd make ashes of our clothes
|
And grow a garden out of those
|
And watch the water as it rose
|
To bring the ocean to our toes
|
|
We could build an island
|
You and I could swim beside
|
Where we could ride the tides
|
Until we fall asleep at night
|
[x2]
|
|
It's true
|
Distance just makes my heart grow for you
|
And everything I want for us to do
|
To build an island between me and you
|
Build an island between me and you
|
|
We could build an island
|
You and I could swim beside
|
And we could ride the tides
|
Until we fall asleep
|
|
We could build an island
|
You and I could swim beside
|
Where we could ride the tides
|
Until we fall asleep at night
|
[x2]
|
|
We could build an island
|
We could ride the tides
|
Oh, we could build an island
|
Until we fall asleep at night...
