You’re on an island
I’m out on the plains
You’re on a piling
while I stare at a train
I hope you stay dry
while I’m pining for rain
You’re on an island
I’m on the mainland
Elemental moon on the wane
You’re on an island
with walls all around
watching the liners
that are crossing the sound
You’ve got something of mine
I hope you like what you found
You’re on an island
I hope you are smiling
I hope nothing is running aground
You’re on an island
Come back ashore
Just for a while
like a lifetime or more
Nautical miles
more than ever before
You’re on an island
The prairie is silent
until I hear your knock at my door
