Island In The Sun Lyrics - Singles - Dan Mccafferty

Captain o captain 

Only five miles ahead 

There lies an island 

Only five miles ahead 

White hills and beaches 

Something green in the blue 

Captain o captain 

So it all has come true 

There's an island in the sun 

Come together everyone 

Ahead lies an island 

Now it's september 

We've been sailing so long 

One summer one winter 

Is this where we belong 

Seems only a footstep 

Into the setting sun 

Our journey has ended 

Or has it just begun 

There's an island in the sun 

Come together everyone 

Ahead lies an island 

There's an island in the sun 

Come together everyone 

Ahead lies an island 

There they were...the islands. big ones, small ones, beautiful ones 

And wasted ones . . . but wherever they went, wherever they looked, 

Wherever they put their feet...only uninhabitable, exploited, devastated 

Sands. . . they encountered everything they meant to leave behind. war... 

Poison... degeneration . . . love died a long time ago . . .
