Captain o captain

Only five miles ahead

There lies an island

Only five miles ahead

White hills and beaches

Something green in the blue

Captain o captain

So it all has come true

There's an island in the sun

Come together everyone

Ahead lies an island



Now it's september

We've been sailing so long

One summer one winter

Is this where we belong

Seems only a footstep

Into the setting sun

Our journey has ended

Or has it just begun

There's an island in the sun

Come together everyone

Ahead lies an island



There's an island in the sun

Come together everyone

Ahead lies an island



There they were...the islands. big onessmall onesbeautiful ones

And wasted ones . . . but wherever they wentwherever they looked

Wherever they put their feet...only uninhabitableexploiteddevastated

Sands. . . they encountered everything they meant to leave behind. war...

Poison... degeneration . . . love died a long time ago . . .
