[C#m]
Earth's stream and tree, [G#m] encircled by sea,
[F#] Ways sweep the sand [B] from [G#m] my island.
[C#m] My sunsets [B] fade, [A] field and glade,
[G#m] Wait only for rain, [F#] grain after grain,
[G#m] Love erodes my [C#m] high [B] [A]-weathered walls,
[G#m] Which fend off the tide,
[F#m] cradle the wind,
[D#m] To [G#m] my island.
[C#m]
Gaunt granite climbs, [G#m] where gulls wheel and glide,
[F#m] Mournfully glide, o [G#m]'er my island.
[C#m] My dawn brights veil, [E] [A] damp and pale,
[G#m] Dissolves in the sun, [F#] love's web is [F#m] spun,
Cats [G#m] prowl, mice run, [C#m] wreaths [B] snatch [A] and bryce,
[G#m] Where owls know my eyes, [B]
[F#m] violet skies,
Touch [G#m]
my island, touch [C#m] me.
[E] Beneath the winter [A] wave,
[E] infinite
[A] peace,
[E] Islands [F#m] join hands, neath [E] heaven's sea.

[E] [A] pills and gourds,
[G#m] Are strewn on my shore, [F#m] equal in love,
Bound [G#m] in circles, [C#m] earth's [B] stream [A] and tree.
[G#m] Return to the sea, [B] [F#m] ways sweep the sand [E] from my [G#m] island, From [C#m] [B] me.
