You were an island
And I shipwrecked on you
Somewhere in a dream
It all seems so crazy
But I think you knew
The hurricane would hit one day
And now my memory drifts away
Through the hazy
Like the letters in your name
We built an empire
From your crumbling stones
Stronger than before
From out of the ashes
Now where do we go?
That island seems so far from here...
And now my memory drifts away
Through the hazy
And if it all comes back one day
That¹s not very likely
We walk across the promises
That we once made in our hearts
We walk across the promises
That fall apart in these hands
But that¹s the way it goes
For everyone
You were an island
And I shipwrecked on you
And nothing more...
And now my memory drifts away
Through the hazy
Like the letters in your name
And all our old dreams drift away
Through the hazy
And if it all comes back one day
That¹s not very likely
But that¹s the way it goes
For everyone
That¹s how the story goes
Or am I the crazy one?
