[Verse 1]
And the moon brings us back, I'm going back over to the
islands
in between your smiles there's a clue whether to scream
or be silent.
And the wind blows sad and joyful on our   arrival
onto the island
and with your sense of dislocation   you make the perfect travelling
companion.
 
[Interlude]
 
[Chorus]
And the world will always seem so much younger than me
when I take the boat out,
a crowded world will always seem emptier to me
when I take the boat out.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Suspicion fills a stranger who looks beyond
the horizon,
All the days that I've found love and left with only my feelings
to survive on.
I walk the solemn line   in with the rhythm of the seas
around the island
and there are times to act and times to stand back and   time to show whats
needed to rely on.
 
 
[Chorus]
And the world will always seem so much younger than me
when I take the boat out,
a crowded world will always seem emptier to me
when I take the boat out.
When the sea answers the island, oh,
when I take the boat out,
it's emptier and silent, oh,
when I take the boat out.
 
How come you always seem so real defined,
you put your hand in my hand make it my design.
 
[Outro]
And we give what we have   and we do what we can,
put your hand in my hand.
How come you always seem so real defined,
you put your hand in my hand make it   our design.
And we give what we have and we do what we can,
put your hand in my hand.
And the sea answers the island, oh,
and the sea answers the island, oh.
