Islanders Songtext
von Everon

So tired of living
In this exile I once chose
Sheltered by a levee 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
Won't you please
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
Won′t you please
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
Won't you please
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
