A silver moon and a singing breeze

I'm walking out under the stars

I light a cigarette and watch the smoke

as it chases my dreams away

I turn my gaze out to the sea

and watch as the waves come tumbling in

off in the distance an angel cries

as the ship of the line comes into bay



I'm just an island in a stream

I'm all at sea, come rescue me

I'm just an island in a stream

I'm all at sea, come rescue me



Building castles and flying flags

and my lips begin to sting

I feel the sand beneath my feet

and my halloween heart begins to sing

the flashing light warns of danger here

but the ship comes on sailing in

I run for shore and away to hide

I need a time and a place to think



I'm just an island in a stream

I'm all at sea, come rescue me

I'm just an island in a stream

I'm all at sea, come rescue me



I look around to find a friend for life

seeking refuge in your arms

splinters of ice thin sharp and cold

pierce my freezing skin

by the skill of your embrace

you show me a grave new world

and against the tide and dashed on the rocks

the ship of the line comes on in



I'm just an island in a stream

I'm all at sea, come rescue me

I'm just an island in a stream

I'm all at sea, come rescue me.
