Verse1: start with C#m
Earth, stream and tree encG#mircled by sea
F#mWaves sweep the sand from my iG#msland.
My sC#munsets fade. FF#mield and glade
wait oG#mnly for rain
F#mGrain after grain love eG#mrodes my
High wC#meathered walls which G#mfend off the tide
F#mCradle the wind to my iG#msland. C#m
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:
EBeneath the wind turned wAave
EInfinite pAeace
EIslands join haAnds 'Neathe heaven's sEea.
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.
