my heart is but an island
inside this castaway
surrounded by the ocean blue
i hope to sail someday
stranded on this distant shore
i plan for my escape
headed to the bay of love
where calm, clear waters wait
my heart is just an island
so far out from the fray
beyond the blue horizon
i live from day to day
stranded on this desert shore
i plan for my escape
headed to the sea of change
where love can navigate
my heart is just an island
where no one else can see
the loneliness, i must confess
that hides deep down in me
