ISLAND TO ISLAND
(Mike Pinder)

I can't take all this rain and dark clouds
I got to get to the sun
find me a place I can go sit down now
the cold's got me on the run

I need some time to regain my senses
partake in a leasure and fun
it took awhile but I cleared the fences
now all my hard work is done

island to island
in the space of the day
grey skies to blue skies
baby take me away

I'm flying free as a bird on the wing
independence is won
I wanna dance I wanna sing
play tropical mellotron

pacific sunset surf and sand
this holiday's overdue
a lonely night enchanted land
we'll celebrate me and you

island to island
in the space of a day
grey skies to blue skies
baby take me away

island to island
in the space of a day (space of a day)
grey skies to blue skies
baby take me away (take me away)

island to island
something's waiting for me
sunshine and rainbows
and a deep blue sea

island to island
in the space of a day (space of a day)
grey skies to blue skies
baby take me away

baby take me away
