Islanders Songtext / Lyric

So tired of living in this exile I once chose

Sheltered by a levy I have built with my own hands

So tired of waiting for the flood to take me in

Or a ship to pick me up and carry me to solid land



From all I know and all I've seen

There's not a lot left in between

It's a choice to either do or die

A choice you've got to make



Catch that ship right on time

Wherever it may sail

Catch that ship right on time

Your choice will tip the scale

Catch that ship right on time

Don't be left behind



So tired of walking in someone else's shoes

Of being hooked on dreams so vague, that were not meant for me

So tired of paying someone else's dues

Of seeking the warmth of a sun that I will never see






From all I know and all I've seen

There's not a lot left in between

It's a choice to either do or die

A choice you've got to make



Catch that ship right on time

Wherever it may sail

Catch that ship right on time

Your choice will tip the scale

Catch that ship right on time

Don't be left behind



We're islanders, both you and me

Trapped on an island on our own

To share a form of loneliness

That company won't ease

The sea around that has no end

Taught us there's no solid land

For islanders like you

For islanders like me



From all I know and all I've seen

There's not a lot left in between

It's a choice to either do or die

A choice you've got to make



Catch that ship right on time

Wherever it may sail

Catch that ship right on time

Your choice will tip the scale

Catch that ship right on time

Don't be left behind
