[Verse 1]
D
Island I see you in the distance
I feel that your existence
G
Is not unlike my own
D E D
Island they say no man is like you
A
They say you stand alone
D G
Sometimes I feel that way too
D
Is it the need for love?
[Bridge]
A
Heart and soul accompaniment
Bb Bm E A
That seems to make me different from you
[Chorus]
Bm Em A
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
Bm E
And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
A
Tore my sails and broke my oars.
[Verse 2]
D
Island I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
G
Just make me long that much more
D
Island I see you in all of my dreams
G
But I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore
D
When the need for love
[Bridge]
A
Heart and soul accompaniment
Bb Bm E A
That seems to make me different from you
Bm Em
Well I tried to build bridges
A
But they all fell down
Bm
I've taken to the air on wings of silver
E
But always hit the ground
[Chorus]
Bm Em A
Well I tried to book passage, but you have no ports
Bm E
And I tried to sail in but your wind and waters
A
Tore my sails and broke my oars.
[Verse 3]
D
Island I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
G
Just make me long that much more
