Verse 1:


D
Island I see you in the distance

I feel that your existence

                G
Is not unlike my own

D      E          D
Island they say no man is like you

A
They say you stand alone

Sometimes I feel that way too

Is it the need for love?

Heart and soul accompaniment

Bb         Bm         E         A
That seems to make me different from you

Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports

And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters

A
Tore my sails and broke my oars.

Verse 2:


D
Island I see you in the moonlight

Silhouettes of ships in the night

Just make me long that much more

Island I see you in all of my dreams

                                                  G
But I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore
