From One Island To Another

Chris Whitley


From one island to another 
Winds shifting 
Currents cover 
The navigations 
These separations 
Rowing home alone 

A beach 
A blazing fire 
Lighthouse eyes 
Nighttime desire 
She walks alone 
Skips a stone 
From one island to another 

So what have I to give her 
Stars shine 
Waves whisper 
The constellations 
Conversations 
One island to another
