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
