Between Two Islands

We sailed on a fishing-boat

between these two shores

the Island of Lovers

and the Island of Whores

You at the helm getting

soaked to the skin

taking me to places

I'd never been

Where are you tonight?

In the clouds or on the sea?

I'm thinking of you now

Do you ever think of me?

In different locations

taken by surprise

I woke up one morning

and looked in your eyes

What were you thinking?

I never knew

You were the captain

I was the crew

Where are you tonight?

In the clouds or on the sea?

I'm thinking of you now

Do you ever think of me?

Catching my stare

I wonder what you saw?

A not quite unrequited lover

or just another whore?

Safe in our life-jackets

salvaged from the sea...

Now I'm drowning

Won't you rescue me?

Where are you tonight?

In the clouds or on the sea?

I'm thinking of you now

Do you ever think of me?

“I want you

and I want you to want me, baby

I want you

and I want you to want me too

I want you

and I want you to want me, baby

I want you

and I want you to want me too

The way that I want you”
