Verse1: start with C#m
Earth, stream and tree enc[Abm]ircled by sea
[F#m]Waves sweep the sand from my i[Abm]sland.
My s[C#m]unsets fade. F[F#m]ield and glade
wait o[Abm]nly for rain
[F#m]Grain after grain love e[Abm]rodes my
High w[C#m]eathered walls which [Abm]fend off the tide
[F#m]Cradle the wind to my i[Abm]sland.[C#m]
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]Beneath the wind turned w[A]ave
[E]Infinite p[A]eace
[E]Islands join ha[A]nds 'Neathe heaven's s[E]ea.
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.
