The Islander

   
Intro: Hmi,A,G

   Hmi             H2           G6         G
1. An old man by a sea shore at the end of day
   A2         G9            A              Hmi
   Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face.
     Hmi            H2            G6         G
   Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same.
   A2       G9           A              Hmi
   Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name.


2. Sea without a shore for the vanished one unheard
   He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world.
   Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts,
   The ones and their travels homeward from afar.

               G    D   A  Hmi   G          D          Emi  Hmi
R. This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world.
   G   D   A  Hmi   G          D            Emi
   Horizon's crying the tears he left behind long ago.


3. The albatross is flying, making him daydream
   The time before he became - one of the world`s unseen
   Princess in the tower, children in the fields -
   Life gave him it all: an island of the universe.

4. Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog.
   He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world.
   Anchor to the water, seabed far below,
   Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow.
