Take Me Back to the Islands - Lyrics - Idlewild

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
