Islands are mountain-tops   It's always a struggle   To let somebody go   It's a natural desire   To own your lover, I know      And you can screw a man down   Until he takes to drinking   He'll give you all of his money   You still won't know what he's thinking      Take me to the fantastic place   Keep the rest of my life away   Take me to the fantastic place   Keep the rest of my life away      Take me to the island   I'll watch the rain over your shoulder   The streetlights in the water   The moment outside of real life      I never could dream while I was sleeping   Put your arms around my soul   And take it dancing..      Take me to the fantastic place   Keep the rest of my life away   Take me to the fantastic place   Keep the rest of my life away      Take me to the island   I'll watch the rain over your shoulder   The streetlights on the wet stone   The moment outside of real life      Say you understand me   And I will leave myself completely   Forgive me if I stare   But I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes      Take me to the island   I'll tell you all I never told you   The boy I never showed you   More than I gave in my life   Take me by the hand   You'll either kill me or you'll save me   Take me to the island   Show me what might be real life
