Island In The Storm

E B7 A E B7 A E B7 A E E it’s like an old time celebration A E when the sea begins to roar B7 when the wild wind driven breakers E pound the rocks along the shore E with the fir and cedar dancing A E just like feathers by the door B7 E I reach out for my island in the storm E Every time I take the old post road A E And stay away too long B7 E Every time I spend a lonely night in some forgotten town E A E Every time that I am tempted by what is right and what is wrong B7 E I reach out for my island in the storm B7 Where the whisper of a kiss A E With a lantern in the mist B7 E Just like a beacon in the hour before the dawn B7 When the wind is running free A E She’ll be waiting by the sea B7 E She’ll hold me like some island in the storm B7 A E Ooooh ooooh ooooh B7 A E Ooooh ooooh ooooh B7 A E Ooooh ooooh ooooh E A E Every captain standing watching from the bridge of every ship B7 E A long and black horizon coiled and ready as a whip E She may strike without a warning A E Never knowing when she hits B7 E He’s still searching for his island in the storm C#m E There’s a light out on the point forever shining A C#m B7 And every storm must have a silver lining B7 Where the whisper of a kiss A E With a lantern in the mist B7 E Just like a beacon in the hour before the dawn B7 When the wind is running free A E She’ll be waiting by the sea B7 E She’ll hold me like some island in the storm B7 A E Ooooh ooooh ooooh B7 A E Ooooh ooooh ooooh B7 A E Ooooh ooooh ooooh
