作词 : Peter Sinfield

作曲 : Robert Fripp

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 cry over 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 harbor 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
