Nana Mouskouri Alone
( Y. Gilbert / S. Lama / D. Jewell )
Alone between the sky and sea
An island
Reaching out to me
Neglected
A world apart rejected
It's wild shore
Deserted and unsought for
An island
An island
A vision calling me
An island in the setting sun
Alone
At peace when the day is done
Protected
It's secrets undetected
Illusion
Untouched and in seclusion
An island
An island
At peace when day is done
I must go there
Without the crowds around me
There with silence to astound me
Alone to face my destiny
To understand what life might be
I must go there
To take my future chances
To turn away the backward glances
Then in that moment I will know
Why we are apart
When still I love you so
**
Alone between the sky and sea
An island
Reaching out to me
Neglected
A world apart rejected
It's wild shore
Deserted and unsought for
An island
This island
My island is you
**
I will be there
Without the past to hound me
There without the tears that bound me
Alone without my memories
As empty as the endless seas
I will be there
Without the pride that taunts me
Without the love and hate that haunts me
And in that moment I will know
The way to show
That still I love you so
(Repeat**)
Is you
Is you
