I am an island underneath the setting sun
In an ocean that is churning
For all I know there might be nobody nearby
Still, the world, it keeps on turning
And when that sun goes down
It gets brighter in my heart somehow
But it's what I want to know
Since I left you I'm a gold balloon that wanders high
I won't sing through rainbows and showers
Taking lovers just might keep my tears at bay
But the dam can break at any hour
To deepen in your mysteries
At the tides of these seas
And when the sun goes down
It gets brighter in my heart somehow
But it's what I'd like to know
