Hey Ocean! Islands Lyrics

If the sun is to set
To leave us dark with regret
I will work up the strength
To pull our earth back round again
And if the ocean should freeze
Before we've sailed all the seas
I will drop to my knees
Until Poseidon agrees

We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]

If you get scared of the space
Between now and those days
Then I will take you away
Somewhere fear has no place
We'd make ashes of our clothes
And grow a garden out of those
And watch the water as it rose
To bring the ocean to our toes

We could build an island You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]

It's true
Distance just makes my heart grow for you
And everything I want for us to do
To build an island between me and you
Build an island between me and you

We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
And we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep

We could build an island
You and I could swim beside
Where we could ride the tides
Until we fall asleep at night
[x2]

We could build an island
We could ride the tides
Oh, we could build an island
Until we fall asleep at night...
