lyrics

Never was a strong swimmer
But somehow I stayed afloat
Waiting for a wave to pick me up
Found myself on this island
Between the river and the sea
The mainland's just a memory

In the shadow of the old arch bridge
Watching the tugs fight the tide
Just a stone's throw from the other side
But it might as well be a million miles

Welcome to your island
There's no strangers here
Everyone knows how it feels
Where the rhythms of the ocean
Cross the rhythms of the day
The months and the years drift away

Rolling over the old arch bridge
Concrete and steel time machine
Keeps up safe from the treacherous tides
But no bridge, even perfect
Can heal this divide

Never was a strong swimmer
Now I stick to the shore
Can't trust the waves anymore
