Solomon Islands - Bayzo

Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea Waves sweep the sand from my island My sunsets fade Field and glade wait only for rain Grain after grain love erodes my High weathered walls which fend off the tide Cradle the wind To my island 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 Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'Neath heaven's sea Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'Neath heaven's sea 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 Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'Neath heaven's sea

Threw a bottle Across the water To someone who's Thinking of me There's a tower In the ocean Poring through me That's my will and testament I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh Looked out into everything and I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing" when it's quite right Everything grows stronger in the light When a boy who Played with razors Met a girl who Opened cages All the birds flew Through the graveyard And their laughter Was contagious I, I, I am watching on the other side, sigh Looked out into every nil and nigh Lie, tell myself it's darkest when it's quite bright Everything grows stronger in the light In the light In the light In the light Standing at the sea and swallowing Without you, beside you But you knew what I knew I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh Looked out into everything I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing" when it's quite right Everything goes, everything grows I, I, I am watching, I am waiting I, I, I am waiting, I'm not breaking I lie, tell myself, "It's okay" when it's not quite Everything grows stronger in the light
