      G                 Em
There once was an island
 G/B              G7
Further than any boat had reached
     Am
And she sat there in silence.
  G            Em
Alone, but at ease.

    G               Em
A spell was upon her.
 G                     G7
Her body could never leave,
         Am                                G
But her mind would travel multitudes your eye could
        Em
not conceive.

when the night sky's your only friend
when you're tired of playing pretend
when the ground under your feet
seems like no more than a dream

and you're in over your head
and your instincts are not fed
well, you're not free
you don't feel free

there's no time to be
on that island with me
far away from the city
from the litter and poverty
from the fast paced monotony
