There is an island in the sky

It sits near the moon on cloudless nights

It has no birds that ever fly

To leave is a battle of winds and might

The water is blue like the sky

It rocks the land to sleep at night

It's waves are sweet and, quiet rush,

They whisper to me, "I'll love you very much."

It's the lullaby of leaves

It's the lullaby of seas

The whispers will bring us to our knees

and though it loves us, we will cry,

To escape from the island in the sky!
