| [00:10.48] |
With a wave of her hand |
| [00:13.39] |
and her sparkling eye |
| [00:16.67] |
My island girl |
| [00:19.23] |
bid me goodbye |
| [00:22.63] |
For another country |
| [00:25.31] |
in another time |
| [00:28.55] |
For another life |
| [00:31.28] |
under another sky |
| [00:34.30] |
But don't just cut off your heart |
| [00:37.34] |
keep it open and sure |
| [00:40.47] |
Keep it free from hurt |
| [00:42.90] |
and keep an open door |
| [00:45.98] |
And let the spirit of love that united our soul |
| [00:52.25] |
Be a gentle dove |
| [00:55.11] |
and guide you to your goal |
| [00:58.19] |
And I'll go to that stream |
| [01:01.04] |
and I'll sing my own prayer |
| [01:04.17] |
That my island girl |
| [01:06.95] |
shall be safe everywhere |
| [01:09.43] |
|
| [01:19.54] |
Sing away while you can and before very long |
| [01:25.87] |
The coming tide brings the chosen one |
| [01:31.49] |
And there is a hope |
| [01:34.01] |
and there is a peace |
| [01:37.32] |
In that ancient land |
| [01:39.75] |
where my angel sleeps |
| [01:43.03] |
And when your river runs high |
| [01:46.57] |
Let it flow, let it flow |
| [01:49.55] |
It's your time with life |
| [01:51.68] |
to let your garden grow |
| [01:54.96] |
And when your burden gets trough |
| [01:58.15] |
Let it go, let it go |
| [02:03.35] |
Let your strength return on |
| [02:03.57] |
every breeze that blows |
| [02:09.13] |
Through that ancient land, |
| [02:10.17] |
through eternity |
| [02:13.65] |
Oh, my island girl, |
| [02:16.33] |
remember me |
| [02:18.89] |
|
| [02:28.49] |
For your life has its course |
| [02:31.27] |
and you never can say |
| [02:34.24] |
Who you'll meet and marry |
| [02:37.68] |
along your way |
| [02:39.95] |
But be sure from the start |
| [02:42.83] |
that the cities behind |
| [02:46.14] |
Love the lands living heart |
| [02:48.92] |
and breath eternal time |
| [02:51.81] |
And when your river runs dry |
| [02:55.04] |
and your halo is torn |
| [02:57.68] |
Drink the living stream |
| [03:01.46] |
in the calm of the dawn |
| [03:04.19] |
And may you travel in peace |
| [03:07.02] |
And may your children be blessed |
| [03:10.51] |
And your mind released |
| [03:13.15] |
and your soul caressed |
| [03:16.18] |
In that faraway land |
| [03:18.86] |
where my spirit flies |
| [03:22.12] |
To my island girl |
| [03:25.56] |
under those ancient skies |
| [03:27.57] |
|
| [03:37.43] |
And with a wave of her hand |
| [03:40.60] |
and her sparkling eye |
| [03:43.58] |
My island girl |
| [03:46.03] |
bid me goodbye |
| [03:49.55] |
For another dream |
| [03:52.22] |
in another time |
| [03:54.85] |
For another life |
| [03:57.94] |
under another sky |
