Island Girl

My island girl

Is finding pearls at the bottom of the sea

And knows the world is all make believe

One final turn

Time will turn the southern sky

Don't run and hide the colors

That make you dream



She is sleeping in the sunlight

I watch her quiet form

The water seems to whisper out

You're right where you belong

This morning holds a promise

The night will never keep

She grinds her teeth and tells me

We are honest when we sleep

And the only sound in this lonely town

Is hold me down

I hope my feet don't leave the ground

Now the only sound in our lonely town

Is hold me now

I swear my feet won't leave the ground



CHORUS



She wears that old red worn out sweater

And walks along the shoreline,

Picks a rock up from the sand and says

Now you're mine

A thousand years of mystery

Safe within her hand

The secret of the sea

That only she will understand



CHORUS



And the only sound in this lonely town

Is hold me down

I hope my feet don't leave the ground

Now the only sound in our lonely town

Is hold me now

I swear my feet won't leave the ground
