Take Me Back To The Islands Lyrics - Post Electric Blues - Idlewild

And the moon brings us back 

I'm going back over to the islands 

In between your smiles 

There's a clue whether to scream or be silent 

And the wind blows sad and joyful 

On our arrival onto the island 

And with your sense of dislocation 

You make the perfect traveling companion 

And the world will always seem 

So much younger than me when I take the boat out 

A crowded world will always seem 

Emptier to me when I take the boat out 

Suspicion fills a stranger 

Who looks beyond the horizon 

All the days that I've found love 

And left with only my feelings to survive on 

I walk the solemn line 

In with the rhythm of the seas around the island 

And there are times to act and times to stand back 

And time to show what's needed to rely on 

And the world will always seem 

So much younger than me when I take the boat out 

A crowded world will always seem 

Emptier to me when I take the boat out 

When the sea answers the island 

Oh, when I take the boat out 

It's emptier and silent 

Oh, when I take the boat out 

How come you always seem so real divine? 

You put your hand in my hand, make it my design 

And we give what we have and we do what we can 

Put your hand in my hand 

How come you always seem so real divine? 

You put your hand in my hand, make it our design 

And we give what we have and we do what we can 

Put your hand in my hand 

And the sea answers the island, oh 

And the sea answers the island, oh
