If the sun is to set To leave us dark with regret I will work up the strength To pull our earth back round again And if the ocean should freeze Before we've sailed all the seas I will drop to my knees Until Poseidon agrees
We could build an island You and I could swim beside Where we could ride the tides Until we fall asleep at night [x2]
If you get scared of the space Between now and those days Then I will take you away Somewhere fear has no place We'd make ashes of our clothes And grow a garden out of those And watch the water as it rose To bring the ocean to our toes
We could build an island You and I could swim beside Where we could ride the tides Until we fall asleep at night [x2]
It's true Distance just makes my heart grow for you And everything I want for us to do To build an island between me and you Build an island between me and you
We could build an island You and I could swim beside And we could ride the tides Until we fall asleep
We could build an island You and I could swim beside Where we could ride the tides Until we fall asleep at night [x2]
We could build an island We could ride the tides Oh, we could build an island Until we fall asleep at night...
