lyrics

chasing tomorrow
mourning for yesterday
we can never rest
we can never stay

bound by time
with a sense of direction
on and on and on
a linear connection

refrain:
on an island
in the waves of the world
on an island
in the tide of times
stretching far beyond
our imagination
and above us
the mists of space unfurled
we’re entangled
in reason and rhyme
looking for that
bolt of inspiration

when we say goodbye we pray
we will meet again some day
deep inside we know for sure
this will never come again

it will seem only stranger
it will seem only stranger still
it will seem only stranger
to fools and to wise men

refrain

the island washed away
carried by ebb and flow
dissolving into the waves
particles in current and tide
it is now - it is then
it is here and everywhere
it is you - it is me
it‘s us - it‘s life

free of time
no beginnings and no end
no matter where we go
no curve, no line, no bend

free of time
we know our way
no matter where we go
we‘ll forever stay

refrain
