Islands, from the first time we saw

We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore

We can never be closer, somehow

For the moment that lasts, is this moment now

When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning?

Hold on to your heart's desire

(When the night's on fire)

When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning

And the two can fly much higher

We are islands but never too far

We are islands

And I need your light tonight

And I need your light tonight

We are islands but never too far

We are islands

And I need your light tonight

And I need your light tonight

Islands, never been to before

And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar

There's a new path that we found just today

I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way

When the night's on fire, oh, will you keep the candlelight burning?

Hold on to your heart's desire

(When the night's on fire)

When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning

And the two can fly much higher

We are islands but never too far

We are islands

And I need your light tonight

And I need your light tonight

We are islands but never too far

We are islands

And I need your light tonight

And I need your light tonight
