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 Refrão We could build an island You and i could swim beside Where we could ride the tides Until we fall asleep at night 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 roses To bring the ocean to our toes Refrão It's true The distance just makes my grow for you And everything i want for us to do To build an island between me and you(2x) Refrão(2x) We could build an island We could ride the ties Oh we could build an island Until we fall asleep at night...
