Islands Lyrics - King Crimson

Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea 

Waves sweep the sand from my island. 

My sunsets fade. 

Field and glade wait only for rain 

Grain after grain love erodes my 

High weathered walls which fend off the tide 

Cradle the wind 

to my island. 

Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide 

Mournfully glide o'er my island. 

My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale 

Dissolves in the sun. 

Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run 

Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes 

Violet skies 

Touch my island 

Touch me.

Beneath the wind turned wave 

Infinite peace 

Islands join hands 

'Neath heaven's sea. 

Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone 

Hungrily reach from my island. 

Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds 

Are strewn on my shore. 

Equal in love, bound in circles. 

Earth, stream and tree return to the sea 

Waves sweep sand from my island 

from me.
