Yes, I am an island Though not of rock and stone I contemplate in solitude Anticipating every mood The distant sound of ships at sea Are lulled into a melody It’s not that I’m avoiding you I like to be alone
Yes, I am an island I battled for and won The muted roar of rolling thunder Hardly moves the breeze asunder Sharks in ties with silver tongues Berate the shore and dream of lungs There’s not a cloud in sight For I’m an island in the sun
