Verse1: start with C#m

                          G#m
Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
F#m                           G#m
Waves sweep the sand from my island.
    C#m           F#m
My sunsets fade. Field and glade 
      G#m
wait only for rain
F#m                     G#m
Grain after grain love erodes my
      C#m                  G#m
High weathered walls which fend off the tide
F#m                    G#m     C#m
Cradle the wind to my island.

Verse2:

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                        A
Beneath the wind turned wave
E         A
Infinite peace
E              A                     E
Islands join hands 'Neathe heaven's sea.

Verse3:

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.
