I've seldom been inhabited
I'm an isolated shelter
Looking at the archipelagos
Oh, these islands are so dull
Where is my sanctuary?

As I wait for a shoreline
I find you in the distance
The sun gleams on you
So it's not that hard
To find your small land.

Then it dawns on me
I can't move toward you
Because I am an island
And so are you
How can I be yours
When all we share is distance?
