There's a big boat sitting' on the far horizon
A rain veil sweeping long and low
It hangs halfway between the earth and sky
As back to the island I go
There a warm wind blowing off the northern shore
And a harbor I'm a gonna make
A low swell running, a following sea
And cat paws dancing on the lake
Little island in the water, island so green
Little island of my dreams
Laughter just above the sound of waves
A campfire burning on the shore
Red right returning lights
They all welcome me back once more
A glow in the west as the sun goes down
Black silhouetted trees
A smile I've found for this summer town
A freshwater fantasy
Little island in the water, island so green
Little island of my dreams
You hold me, you call me, you know my heart's desire
The truth we speak between the wind and the waves
Becomes the singing of a choir
And the words of dawn become an ancient song
Written in the rocks and the sand
Chapter and verse were once heard first
By the rocks and the pebbles and the sand
Oh the moon walks slowly on a milky road
And bright streaks score the sky
And I am standing here with your hand in mine
I'm wiping tears from my eyes
Little island in the water, island so green
Little island of my dreams
