There Used To Be An Island ...

There used to be an Island..

There used to be an island, in the middle of my stream,
a place of wild flowers, for the eye to drift and dream
and float away... o’er sea and flame and stone, drift away... far and beyond

The wild storms rose, the waters wild, a stormy sea that leapt and roared
through nights of troubled sleep and days
too damp for dreaming, to float away... far and beyond...

Now waters still and pale sky blue sweet birds do gentle sing
I call your name, in vain, in vain, the island it has gone
it’s washed away... far and beyond...

There used to be an island in the middle of my stream,
a place of wild flowers, for the eye to drift and dream,
I’ve been thinking, I’ve been dreaming where that island used to be
In that empty greening silence where the waters gently sing
call me away... o’er sea and flame and stone, call me away...
far and beyond...
