Grand Island

There's nothing stopping you from writing this all down

You can't ask why, you just have to believe

There's nothing I can do, you're so far from me now

If I look back at all that history I see

Such a grand island

You were my safety

Such a grand island

You would have taken me for your own

Addicted to the sky, first kin to the water

The plans we made, the time we sacrificed

I watched you as your life opened like a flower

Now it's too late to try and change our minds

Such a grand island

You were my safety

Such a grand island

You would have taken me for your own now

I've never seen a light in this life until tonight

I never did what's right, though I tried to get it right

Oh, you gave your best to me and I gave it back to you

I needed something to believe in, oh

Such a grand island

You were my safety

Such a grand island

Oh, would you still take me? Oh-oh-oh

Such a grand island

You were my safety, oh-oh-oh

Such a grand island

You would have taken me for your own now
