Verse1: start with C#m
G#m
Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
F#m G#m
Waves sweep the sand from my island.
C#m F#m
My sunsets fade. Field and glade
G#m
wait only for rain
F#m G#m
Grain after grain love erodes my
C#m G#m
High weathered walls which fend off the tide
F#m G#m C#m
Cradle the wind to my island.
Verse2:
Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully glide o'er my island.
My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale,
Dissolves in the sun.
Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes
Violet skies touch my island, touch me.
Chorus:
E A
Beneath the wind turned wave
E A
Infinite peace
E A E
Islands join hands 'Neathe heaven's sea.
Verse3:
Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone
Hungrily reach from my island.
Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds
Are strewn on my shore.
Equal in love, bound in circles.
Earth, stream and tree return to the sea
Waves sweep sand from my island, from me.
