Islands — John Denver

Islands call out to me Like the highlands that I always see In my dreams of home

Islands like so many dreams Are like canyons but off the main stream And there's no one there The dreamer is always alone

And the mighty blue ocean Keeps rolling on every shore Like the spirit that binds us together We are so much more - than islands

Islands belong to the sea Like the dark sands of my memory When the morning comes They are stepping stones to the sun

And the mighty blue ocean Keeps rolling on every shore Like the spirit that binds us together We are so much more - than islands
