"This being far from each other is giving me all
the insecurities and unhappiness, it's breaking my psyche..
I just need you to make myself whole again and
assure me of your never-ending love...
And my love for you is a never-ending one...
like the vastness of space...
No one has ever loved another like this..."

ISLANDS
by Mike Oldfield
-performed by Bonnie Tyler-

intro: D#   E#m  A#  D    D#  E#m  A#  D#

D#                       B#m    

Islands from the first time we saw

                E#m                                   A#7               D#

we could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore

D#                   B#m

we can never be closer somehow

           E#m                             A#                 D#

for the moments that lasts, is this moment now



D#            B#m                              A#                                      D#             

When the nights's on fire will you keep the Candlelight Burning

B#m                                A#                     

Hold on to your hearts desire

D#             B#m                         A#                            D#       

When you see one bird into the wind another one's turning

B#m                                  A#

And the two can fly much higher



D#                                                            E#m

We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands

           A#                                           D#         

And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight,

D#                                                              E#m

We are Islands but never too far, we are Islands

          A#                                            D#

And I need your light tonight, and I need your light tonight



D#                 B#m                               E#m

Islands never been to before and we climb so high

                     A#             D#

to where the wild birds soar, 

               D#                       B#m

there's a new path that we found just today 

           E#m                                A#                    D#            

I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way

 

This song is lovingly dedicated to Sophie.
