Island In The Sun

 

I’m an island in the sun

Giving harbor to no one

Ships may pass me on their course

Ever distant are my shores

 

Here I’ll be

Here I’ll stay

‘Til the end of time finds me

 

I’m a palm tree in the breeze

Gazing out upon the sea

Swaying high above the beach

Ever distant from your reach

 

Waves come crashing upon my shore

Stranded here forever more

Staring blindly into the sun

Across eternity I touch no one

 

I’m a starlight in the sky

Many light years from your sight

Sparkle yonder sparkle bright

Ever distant is my life

 

Waves come crashing upon my shore

Stranded within forever more

Staring blindly into the sun

Beyond eternity I touch no one

 

I’m a silent mountain peak

Without access to those who seek

Out of range of your call

Ever distant from it all

 

Here I’ll be

Here I’ll stay

‘Til the end of time finds me
