Recorded in 1987 for mike oldfield's album 'islands', lyrics taken from careful listening.



Islands

From the first time we saw

We could wait for this moment

Like rocks on the shore

We could never be closer somehow

For the moment that lasts

Is this moment now



When the night's on fire

Oh, will you keep the candle-light burning

Hold onto your heart's desire

(hearts on fire)

When you see one bird into the wind

Another one's turning

And the two can fly much higher

(higher)



Chorus:

We are islands

But never too far

We are islands

And i need your light tonight

And i need your light tonight...(x2)



Islands

Never been to before

And we climb so high

To where the wild birds soar

There's a new path

That we found just today

I was lost in the forest

And you showed me the way



When the night's on fire

Oh, will you keep the candle-light burning

Hold onto your heart's desire

(hearts on fire)

When you see one bird into the wind

Another one's turning

And the two can fly much higher

(higher)
