[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
