We Had an Island Songtext
von Mick Harvey

Remember we had an island
In an ocean of blue
An uncharted island
Nobody else knew

The sand was a worn away carpet
And the palms made of paper and glue
But the shadows of my doubts
Were cast by love
It′s true yes it's true

But the seas that surrounded us
Betrayed a treacherous reality
And in your arms each night
A silver moon would rise
And that′s all I could see


But the waters were arising
And a letter came from a man of the sea
As the waves of the ocean encroached
You made love to me
And as I slept you simply sailed away

A ship built for two
Its masts made of my bones
The sails the skin of my body
And the hull
The hull was made from my soul

Remember we had an island
From its shores I watch the ships go by
On the ocean your naked body
Laying by his side

Remember we had an island
In an ocean of blue

We had an island
Do you remember it, too?
Do you remember it, too?
