| If the sun is to set
|
| To leave us dark with regret
|
| I will work up the strength
|
| To pull our earth back round again
|
| And if the ocean should freeze
|
| Before we’ve sailed all the seas
|
| I will drop to my knees
|
| Until Poseidon agrees
|
| We could build an island
|
| You and I could swim beside
|
| Where we could ride the tides
|
| Until we fall asleep at night
|
| We could build an island
|
| You and I could swim beside
|
| Where we could ride the tides
|
| Until we fall asleep at night
|
| If you get scared of the space
|
| Between now and those days
|
| Then I will take you away
|
| Somewhere fear has no place
|
| We’d make ashes of our clothes
|
| And grow a garden out of those
|
| And watch the water as it rose
|
| To bring the ocean to our toes
|
| We could build an island
|
| You and I could swim beside
|
| Where we could ride the tides
|
| Until we fall asleep at night
|
| We could build an island
|
| You and I could swim beside
|
| Where we could ride the tides
|
| Until we fall asleep at night
|
| It’s true
|
| Distance just makes my heart grow for you
|
| And everything I want for us to do
|
| Build an island between me and you
|
| Build an island between me and you
|
| We could build an island
|
| You and I could swim beside
|
| And we could ride the tides
|
| Until we fall asleep
|
| We could build an island
|
| You and I could swim beside
|
| Where we could ride the tides
|
| Until we fall asleep at night
|
| We could build an island
|
| You and I could swim beside
|
| Where we could ride the tides
|
| Until we fall asleep at night
|
| We could build an island
|
| We could ride the tides
|
| Oh, we could build an island
|
| Until we fall asleep at night |
