Samuel Newman - The Island Lyrics

I was far out
Further than before
And the water
Was coming up aboard
I could see you
Waving from afar
With a sunlit smile
Never known the dark
In the morning
On the cusp of afternoon
I was tiring
With everything to lose
As you lay there
Head upon the sand
And I look on helpless
Done everything I can
Oh distract myself with the sight of you I swear
Oh my sore eyes were caught so unaware
How I wish right now that I was standing there
But you seem so far away
Yeah you're on the island
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
I was far out
Further than before
And the water
Was coming up aboard
I could see you
Waving from afar
With a sunlit smile
Never known the dark
In the evening
Losing all the light
Just the stars out
Stippling the sky
But you stayed there
Weathering the cold
'Till winter's over
My precious gold
Oh distract myself with the sight of you I swear
Oh my sore eyes were caught so unaware
How I wish right now that I was standing there
But you seem so far away
Yeah you're on the island
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
The rain
You're on the island
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
