/ / / /  / / / /     / / / /   There is an

E        Esus4                        E     Esus4
island  where it should never   be,  surrounded 

C#m  C               E     Esus4
by...   suburban   sea.  And through the

tired    and hopeless  waves to where it's  free,  I want to be

E                          D                          C
there.  I want to be there.  I want to be  there for the rest of my

time.  / / / / 

There on the island the 
The sun is always bright.
The moon sends the darkness away in the night.
I know that it's waiting, I know there's a place 
Ready for me.
I want to be there (3x)
For the rest of my time. 

Warm sounds of windsongs
Come down through the trees.
But faraway tears are borne on the breeze.
I'll follow the raindrops, 'cause sunshine and smiles
Are waiting for me.
I want to be there (3x)
For the rest of my time.
