Verse 1: G#m Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea F#m G#m Waves sweep the sand from my island. C#m F#m My sunsets fade. Field and glade G#m wait only for rain F#m G#m Grain after grain love erodes my C#m G#m High weathered walls which fend off the tide F#m G#m C#m Cradle the wind to my island. Verse 2: Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide Mournfully glide o'er my island. My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale, Dissolves in the sun. Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes Violet skies touch my island, touch me. Chorus: E A Beneath the wind turned wave E A Infinite peace E A E Islands join hands 'Neathe heaven's sea. Verse 3: Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone Hungrily reach from my island. Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds Are strewn on my shore. Equal in love, bound in circles. Earth, stream and tree return to the sea Waves sweep sand from my island, from me.
