Zack Grace - Island Song Lyrics

Well you drive so far in the night
That a blight on your mind starts to shine
All about a girl with whom you had unfurled
Had a whirl had a burl
Under sand-green seas all the rocks
And the trees on their knees
But never mind, for she was always free for company
Lean and fair and matted golden hair

Well you sit all night
With the firelight dancing in your eyes
The island's animals all gathering round
To hear the endless stories from your infinitely wise
Mind which came across the seven seas

Orange light ruled all through the night
Keeping fear at bay and warming skin
And likewise sand-green tinges roamed across the island day
Bare golden skin becoming much more lithe

Food and drinks were plentiful and good
Like Eden's garden cultivated true
True it was a paradise - i knew it's every joy
'Til the sad sad day that it all dissolved to naught
She said "I must leave, there's a world out there
But thankyou for your love"
And with that she sailed west into the sun

I knew that day that I would never rest again
'Til the same salt skin was under touch
So I bid my birds and jaguars a sorrowful goodbye
I swear I saw great tears in wild eyes

So now I live a normal life after fifteen wild years
Was it a dream? Who knows.
My love is nowhere to be found
So now I drive, drive without a sound
