Remove AdsKing Crimson - Islands
(Peter Sinfield , Robert Fripp )
Verse 1:
G#mEarth, stream and tree encircled by sea
F#m G#mWaves sweep the sand from my island.
C#m F#mMy sunsets fade. Field and glade
G#mwait only for rain
F#m G#mGrain after grain love erodes my
C#m G#mHigh weathered walls which fend off the tide
F#m G#m C#mCradle the wind to my island.
Verse 2:
Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully glide o'er my island.
My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale,
Dissolves in the sun.
Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes
Violet skies touch my island, touch me.
Chorus:
E ABeneath the wind turned wave
E AInfinite peace
E A EIslands join hands 'Neathe heaven's sea.
Verse 3:
Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone
Hungrily reach from my island.
Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds
Are strewn on my shore.
Equal in love, bound in circles.
Earth, stream and tree return to the sea
Waves sweep sand from my island, from me.
