Captain o captain
Only five miles ahead
There lies an island
Only five miles ahead
White hills and beaches
Something green in the blue
Captain o captain
So it all has come true
There`s an island in the sun
Come together everyone
Ahead lies an island
Now it`s september
We`ve been sailing so long
One summer one winter
Is this where we belong
Seems only a footstep
Into the setting sun
Our journey has ended
Or has it just begun
There`s an island in the sun
Come together everyone
Ahead lies an island
There`s an island in the sun
Come together everyone
Ahead lies an island
There they were...the islands. big ones, small ones, beautiful ones
And wasted ones . . . but wherever they went, wherever they looked,
Wherever they put their feet...only uninhabitable, exploited, devastated
Sands. . . they encountered everything they meant to leave behind. war...
Poison... degeneration . . . love died a long time ago . . .
