Island Girl, Island Boy (original song)

Worlds apart, but miles fade where love prevails.

Island Girl, Island Boy

Island Girl, island Boy,
Half a world from their joy.
Will they meet in the sun,
Or under clouds, cold and dun?

I can only watch and wish for them, my friends.
In their struggles I am young again, again.

Distant land, rising moon,
Pen in hand, telling tune.
Noonday heat, sweating strings,
Words like birds on the wing.

Flying to the one who'll take each phrase to heart.
Disappearing miles until the day they start.

Through the void, spruce and burl,
Island Boy, island Girl,
Pluck and strum warm guitars,
Verse and bridges from afar.

Choruses with one intent in unison.
Hearts and souls in tune may soon become as one,
One...

Aw... you're just mad because you thought you were going to see girls in bikinis.

I am from an island, actually. My dad made it in our back yard pond. He made me live there for ten years because I broke his lawnmower. Houston, Samoa... is that like Paris, Texas?

[loveyaaZ]

everyone s entitled to their own opinions , and i agree with everyone that IT IS A PIECE OF SHIT SONG ! XD

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

You are correct. And your level of insight into all things musical is made keenly apparent by your precise and cutting commentary. I think you should apply for a position at Rolling Stones magazine. BTW - I visited your channel and discovered that you do not exist. I'm sure if you ever do upload a video it will have SOMETHING to do with a pitbull.

[SAMOANislanderBABE]

This is boring!

Are you even from the islands?

This sucks big time.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

If you think this is funny... go look at my Optical Illusion video, then read my responses to all the commentators (those which deserved to be sliced up). It's pretty funny stuff!

[smileykai77]

I concur!
