The Island

...On its way to find the land
Ten days' journey to the island
Brought me to deserted shore
Where the more I pass each day
Makes me think I want to stay

Anchored safely in the cove
The ship is silent and alone
Compass charts will make no sense
There is no direction here
But the movement of the sun

Here is everything I need
(I'll build a shelter to the sea)
It was always waiting for me
(Where the wind and waves can't find me)
I can stay here for as long as I'm alive

Time is something of the past
If you care to see it last
If this is the journey's end
Days of past and future blend
Into where you are today

Here is everything I need
(I'll build a shelter to the sea)
It was always waiting for me
(Where the wind and waves can't find me)
I can stay here for as long as I'm alive

As I gaze out to the sea
From my home upon the island
I've no reason to believe
That I'm ever going to leave
It's so easy just to stay

I've no reason to believe
That I'm ever going to leave
It's so easy just to stay
It's so easy just to stay …
