[00:14.784] Earth stream and tree encircled by sea
[00:22.332] Waves sweep the sand from my island
[00:28.882] My sunsets fade
[00:33.151] Field and glade wait only for rain
[00:40.410] Grain after grain love erodes my high weathered walls
[00:50.192] Which fend off the tide cradle the wind to my island
[01:05.014] Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
[01:13.036] Mournfully cry over my island
[01:19.283] Each dawn bride's veil
[01:24.030] Damp and pale
[01:27.290] Dissolves in the sun
[01:31.074] Love's web is spun
[01:34.132] Cats prowl mice run
[01:37.847] Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes
[01:46.008] Violet skies touch my island touch me
[02:09.272] Beneath the wind turned wave
[02:17.316] Infinite peace
[02:25.230] Islands join hands 'neath heaven's sea
[03:18.651] Dark harbor quays like fingers of stone
[03:26.914] Hungrily reach from my island
[03:33.702] Clutch sailor's words
[03:37.994] Pearls and gourds
[03:41.515] Are strewn on my shore
[03:45.938] Equal in love
[03:48.483] Bound in circles
[03:52.529] Earth stream and tree return to the sea
[04:00.529] Waves sweep sand from my island from me
[04:54.884] Beneath the wind turned wave
[05:02.134] Infinite peace
[05:09.171] Islands join hands 'neath heaven's sea
[05:23.536] Beneath the wind turned wave
[05:30.789] Infinite peace
[05:37.809] Islands join hands 'neath heaven's sea
