Denver, John - Islands Lyrics






Islands call out to me like the highlands that I always see in my dreams of home,
I am never alone when I'm there.
Islands, like so many dreams, are like canyons, but off the main stream.
And there's no one there, the dreamer is always alone.
And the mighty blue ocean keeps rolling on every shore, like the spirit that binds us together,
we are so much more than islands.

Islands belong to the sea like the dark sands of my memory.
When the morning comes they are stepping-stones to the sun.
And the mighty blue ocean keeps rolling on every shore, like the spirit that binds us together,
we are so much more than islands, islands.

    lelandro42 I thought the same thing but couldn’t find any proof.

    I knew John for 20 years and he was exactly like he was on stage, he was a great guy, love and miss him everyday. Love you John.

  10. L.... S....

    Such as shame that so many do not know of it. I knew John, and he was exactly in person as he was on TV, radio and in his concerts. He was a true person, a mensch, someone absolutely true to his word and one of high integrity.

  11. M.... R....

    Another beautiful song by John Denver that probably no one ever heard of.
