Islands are mountain-tops

It's always a struggle

To let somebody go

It's a natural desire

To own your lover, I know



And you can screw a man down

Until he takes to drinking

He'll give you all of his money

You still won't know what he's thinking



Take me to the fantastic place

Keep the rest of my life away

Take me to the fantastic place

Keep the rest of my life away



Take me to the island

I'll watch the rain over your shoulder

The streetlights in the water

The moment outside of real life



I never could dream while I was sleeping

Put your arms around my soul

And take it dancing..



Take me to the fantastic place

Keep the rest of my life away

Take me to the fantastic place

Keep the rest of my life away



Take me to the island

I'll watch the rain over your shoulder

The streetlights on the wet stone

The moment outside of real life



Say you understand me

And I will leave myself completely

Forgive me if I stare

But I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes



Take me to the island

I'll tell you all I never told you

The boy I never showed you

More than I gave in my life

Take me by the hand

You'll either kill me or you'll save me

Take me to the island

Show me what might be real life
