lyrics

Island time, sweet and brief
no affliction, no relief
Tiny lights burn up the mainland night
That’s my loss, that’s my grief

Island time, sea is high
no epistle, no reply
When that ship pulls into Avalon
you just board, no goodbye

Ocean time, rocky shoal
hands of petrol, eyes of coal
No it won’t end well, not for anyone
Not my baby, not a soul

Island time, safe and dry
Nurse your wounds, watch the sky
If that ship pulls into Avalon
you just board, no goodbye
